Figure 4

Compositional and isotopic profiles of DUMo and LEUMo. (a) 3D element distribution map that contains a γ-UMo/UC interface in a DU-10Mo alloy, (b) corresponding compositional profile across the matrix/UC interface, (c) map of 235U% relative to all U isotopes (enrichment) across the γ-UMo/UC interface in the DU-10Mo. Panels (d–f) present the same type of data provided in (ac), but for a LEU-10Mo alloy. Arrows in (a) and (d) point towards the γ-UMo/UC interface. Composition profiles were calculated for a 0.3 nm fixed bin width. Error plotted in (b,c,e,f) is calculated based on point-counting error.
