Abstract

Coherent diffuse neutron scattering from single crystal UO2.13 has been investigated at temperatures up to 2100K. Above 850K the crystal as a single phase and the excess anions give rise to a characteristic pattern of elastic diffuse scattering. This can be interpreted in terms of uncorrelated simple clusters of defective anions first postulated by Willis. The intensity distribution changes with temperature increase but no quasielastic scattering has yet been resolved. On cooling to 293K a strong hysteresis is exhibited.
