Actinide and lanthanide binary nitrides (AnN, LnN), are isostructural cubic compounds relevant to next-generation nuclear fuels which require detailed understanding regarding their oxidative degradation for safe disposal, yet a systematic comparative description remains. Herein, the room- and high-temperature oxidation behaviour of U3+N and Ln3+N (Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Tm and Lu) compounds is examined via a combination of X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, thermogravimetric, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis.

Ziel des Vorhabens war der Aufbau einer offenen Bibliometriedatenbank innerhalb des Kompetenznetzwerks Bibliometrie (KB). Bei diesem Teilprojekt lag ein gesonderte Fokus auf der Analyse und Bereitstellung von Verlagen und Zeitschriften. [...]

Magnetic singularities known as Bloch points (BPs) present a fundamental challenge for micromagnetic theory, which is based on the assumption of a fixed magnetization vector length. Due to the divergence of the effective field at a BP, classical micromagnetics fails to adequately describe BP dynamics [...]
