The influence of lattice defects, recombination, and clustering on thermal transport in single crystal thorium dioxide

Thermal transport is a key performance metric for thorium dioxide in many applications where defect-generating radiation fields are present. An understanding of the effect of nanoscale lattice defects on thermal transport in this material is currently unavailable due to the lack of a single crystal...
