Atomistic and experimental study on thermal conductivity of bulk and porous cerium dioxide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Cerium dioxide (CeO 2 ) is a surrogate material for traditional nuclear fuels and an essential material for a wide variety of industrial applications both in its bulk and nanometer length scale. Despite this fact, the underlying physics of thermal conductivity ( k L ), a crucial design parameter in industrial applications, has not received enough attention. In this article, a systematic investigation of the phonon transport properties was performed using ab initio calculations unified with the Boltzmann transport equation. An extensive examination of the phonon mode contribution, available three-phonon scattering phase space, mode Grüneisen parameter and mean free path (MFP) distributions were also conducted. To further augment theoretical predictions of the k L , measurements were made on specimens prepared by spark plasma sintering using the laser flash technique. Since the sample porosity plays a vital role in the value of measured k L , the effect of porosity on k L by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were investigated. Finally, we also determined the nanostructuring effect on the thermal properties of CeO 2 . Since CeO 2 films find application in various industries, the dependence of thickness on the in-plane and cross-plane k L for an infinite CeO 2 thin film was also reported.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
