Abstract

The nonstoichiometry (x) of UO2+x and (Er0.06U0.94)O2+x has been in-situ measure against oxygen activity (Po2) at elevated temperatures by a coulometric titration method. From the dependence of the oxygen excess (x) of UO2+x on Po2 at 1000℃, it has been concluded that (2Vo2Oia2Oib)〃〃and (2Vo2Oia2Oib)' clusters are prevailing at low oxygen partial pressure [log(Po2/atm) -10.6] and at high oxygen partial pressure [log(Po2/atm) -10.6], respectively. The nonstoichiometry is found to be reduced with the addition of Er, which is ascribed to the fact that the fixed-valent Er3+ reduces the oxidation capacities of UO2+x. The enthalpy of oxygen incorporation in (Er0.06li0.94)O2+x has been evaluated from the mean valences of U-ion as -180±70 kJ/mole.
