摘要
Formation and stability of different types of clusters in hyperstoichiometric UO(2+x), including Willis's 2:2:2 interstitial dimers as well as cuboctahedral tetra- and pentamers are investigated under static and dynamic conditions based on a partly-ionic model. A 'Free Hopping Approximation' for small polarons is proposed and implemented in a molecular dynamic simulation computer code. Lattice parameter and other equilibrium properties of UO(2+x), are calculated and compared with existing experimental data in a wide range of temperature and stoichiometry. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
