ESTABLISHING THE TEMPERATURE AND ORIENTATION DEPENDENCE OF THE THRESHOLD DISPLACEMENT ENERGY IN THO2 VIA MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS

Establishing the temperature and orientation dependence of the threshold displacement energy in ThO2 via molecular dynamics simulations

ThO2 is a promising fuel for next-generation nuclear reactors.As a critical quantity measuring its radiation tolerance, the dependence of the threshold displacement energy on temperature and crystal orientation in ThO2 is unclear and established using comprehensive molecular dynamics simulations in this work.For both Th and O primary knock-on atoms
