Enhancement of U2C3 deposition in electron bombarded UC+UC2
Description
An alloy of UC+UC2 (C/U=1.5) was irradiated with 2 MeV electrons. The resistivity of the alloy increased with increasing electron dose at liquid nitrogen temperature. The increase in resistivity might be due to the formation of nuclei of U2C3. The enhancement of U2C3 deposition in the post-irradiation annealing of the UC+UC2 was investigated by measurements of electrical resistivity and X-ray diffraction analysis. Comparing the temperature dependence of resistivity for the electron bombarded UC+UC2 with that for the non-irradiated one, the enhanced deposition of sesquicarbide was clearly discerned in the former. Isothermal annealings of the bombarded alloy at 14000C also revealed a rapid increase in the electrical resistivity due to the enhanced deposition of U2C3. (Auth.)
