Thermal Conductivity of Uranium Nitride and Carbide

Figure 4

The calculations for thermal conductivity of electronic origin in UC as a function of temperature are shown for nonmagnetic UC with (short, black, dashed line) and without (black solid line) correction for nonresidual resistivity. The recommended experimental data for the total thermal conductivity (red squares) and the electronic contribution (blue triangles) to the thermal conductivity [14] are shown. The electron and phonon contributions to the thermal conductivity at 1000 K, evaluated in [8], are indicated by a green square and a pink diamond, respectively.
