X-ray diffraction and molecular dynamics simulation studies of molten uranium chloride
The structure of molten UCl3 at 1200 K was studied by high-temperature X-ray diffraction and molecular dynamics simulation. The XRD data was reproduced by the simulation with a polarizable ionic model. The nearest U3+-Cl- distance was 2.85 Å with coordination number 8.0, implying that the 8-fold str...
