Anisotropic thermal conductivity in Li2TiO3 ceramic breeder materials

• Reproduce experimental thermal conductivity using molecular dynamics. Shows how convergence factors impact calculated conductivity. Highlights the high degree of anisotropy in for Li 2 TiO 3 . The lithium metatitanate, , is shown classical simulation method Molecular Dynamics (MD). along z -direction markedly lower than that x and y This characteristic could be exploited fabrication breeder blanket design to favourably adjust by ensuring alignment or work sets foundation investigating effect defects on as anticipated formed during lifetime a blanket.
