Localized Nb clusters in U-Nb liquid alloys: An ab initio molecular dynamics study
By means of ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), we have evidenced the formation of the localized Nb clusters in the U-Nb liquid alloys even with the very low Nb concentrations. These localized Nb clusters are characterized, qualitatively and quantitatively, in terms of the pair correlation function...
