Description

Single crystals of U3Si2 were grown at various crystal rotation and pull rates to establish the best parameters for growth of crystals with diameters ≥5 mm (Figure 1). Crystals were pulled from the melt using a modified Czochralski method. U3Si2 single crystals will enable more fundamental property studies for this proposed high density fuel providing data to develop and inform physics-based fuel performance models. (D. Byler)
