摘要

The intermetallic compound U3Si2 has received interest in recent years for use as accident tolerant fuels in light water reactors due to its combination of high thermal conductivity, reasonably high melting point, and high uranium density compared to UO2. Although U3Si2 is well characterized there are ucertainties about the remaining phases in the U-Si system which could be potential fission products of the silicide fuel. In an effort to better detail the U-Si binary phase diagram, the 44-60 at.% Si region of the U-Si phase diagram was investigated experimentally by analyzing samples with nominal compositions U/Si = 5/4, U/Si = 1/1 and U/Si = 2/3 using SEM-EDS, XRD, and high temperature time-of-flight neutron diffraction, supported by DFT calculations. Both the U/Si = 5/4 and the U/Si = 2/3 samples were composed of two phases, U3Si2 + USi and USi + U3Si5 for U/Si = 5/4 and U/Si = 2/3, respectively. Both U5Si4 and U2Si3 were found from DFT calculations to have imaginary phonon frequencies and an enthalpy of formation above the U-Si convex hull, and thus likely to be thermodynamically unstable compared to the other phases, consistent with the experimental results.
