Thermodynamical (TD) fluctuations of temperature in mirrors may produce surface fluctuations not only through thermal expansion in mirror body [1] but also through thermal expansion in mirror coating. We analyze the last " surface " effect which can be larger than the first " volume " one due to larger thermal expansion coefficient of coating material and smaller effective volume. In particular...

The goal of this project is to elucidate the chemical bonding and interface formation of metal fission products with the coating materials used in state-of-the-art TRISO fuel particles. Particular emphasis is placed on an analysis of intermediate chemical phases at the interface, the intermixing/diffusion behavior, and the electronic interface structure as a function of material choice (metal a...
