The MIT Libraries is completing a major upgrade to DSpace@MIT.
Starting May 5 2026, DSpace will remain functional, viewable, searchable, and downloadable, however, you will not be able to edit existing collections or add new material.
We are aiming to have full functionality restored by May 18, 2026, but intermittent service interruptions may occur.
Please email dspace-lib@mit.edu with any questions.
Thank you for your patience as we implement this important upgrade.

| dc.description.abstract | Pyrochlores have long been a target of researchers looking for ceramic materials that remain stable under high doses of radiation. However, its constituent atoms have a drastic effect on how stable the structure is. The focus of this paper is to explain how titanate pyrochlores are on average an order of magnitude less structurally stable than zirconate pyrochlores. This paper explores the effect of the 48f oxygen position parameter on the structural stability of pyrochlore under heavy ion irradiation. Pyrochlores with intermediate position parameters for oxygen in the 48f location are predicted to be most stable. | en_US |
