Research data supporting the publication: 'Structural effects in UO$_2$ thin films irradiated with U ions'

Project: PhD work by A.J. Popel: ‘The effect of radiation damage by fission fragments on the structural stability and dissolution of the UO2 fuel matrix’. The Excel file ‘XRD_UO2_films_YSZ’ with raw XRD data supporting Figures 5, 6 and 7 in the publication: A.J. Popel, A.M. Adamska, P.G. Martin, O.D. Payton, G.I. Lampronti, L. Picco, L. Payne, R. Springell, T.B. Scott, I. Monnet, C. Grygiel, I. Farnan, Structural effects in UO2 thin films irradiated with U ions, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. in Phys. Res. B 386 (2016) 8-15, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nimb.2016.09.019. The XRD analysis was performed to assess crystallographic structure of the as-produced and irradiated thin films of UO2 on YSZ substrates. The data were generated in June-July 2014 at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. A D8 Bruker diffractometer equipped with a primary Ge monochromator for Cu Ka1 and a Sol-X solid state detector operating in standard Bragg-Brentano geometry was used for the analysis. The samples were spun during signal collection and a zero-background sample holder was used in all cases. The data can be accessed through the University of Cambridge Data Repository.

本数据集源自A.J.波普尔（A.J. Popel）的博士研究课题：《裂变碎片辐照损伤对二氧化铀（UO₂）燃料基体的结构稳定性与溶解行为的影响》。配套Excel文件XRD_UO2_films_YSZ包含支撑该论文中图5、图6及图7的原始X射线衍射（X-ray Diffraction, XRD）数据，论文完整信息如下：A.J. Popel、A.M. Adamska、P.G. Martin、O.D. Payton、G.I. Lampronti、L. Picco、L. Payne、R. Springell、T.B. Scott、I. Monnet、C. Grygiel、I. Farnan，《铀离子辐照二氧化铀（UO₂）薄膜的结构效应》，《核仪器与方法物理学研究B辑》（Nucl. Instr. and Meth. in Phys. Res.
