The controlled oxidation of single crystals of UO2 to U4O9

Research output › peer-review

Abstract

A simple and reliable method is presented for the controlled oxidation of UO2 which allows the preparation of single crystals with a composition between UO2 and U4O9 starting from a stoichiometric crystal.
The principle of the method is the equilibration of the oxygen dissociation presures of UO2 and U3O8 heated together in vacuum. The practical applications are shown.
