Abstract: The miscibility, lattice parameter, and thermophysical properties of (Th0.2U0.8)N and (Th0.5U0.5)N have been investigated. It is shown that additions of thorium nitride (ThN) to uranium nitride (UN) increases the thermophysical performance of the mixed nitride… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jnucmat.2019.03.006
Abstract: Uranium mononitride, UN, is considered a potential accident tolerant fuel due to its high uranium density, high thermal conductivity, and high melting point. Compared with the relatively inert UO2, UN has a high reactivity in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/jacs.0c09814
Abstract: Terminal uranium nitrides have so far proven impossible to isolate by photolysis of azides. Here we report the second ever example of an isolated terminal uranium(VI) nitride. We show that the terminal nitride [NBu4][U(OSi(OtBu)3)4(N)], 3,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00295639.2019.1614368
Abstract: Abstract Uranium nitride (UN) is considered as nuclear reactor fuel because of, among other reasons, its high uranium density and its high thermal conductivity. Its main drawback is that it relatively easily dissolves in hot… read more here.
