Abstract

A simple mathematical model of UN, U<subscript>2</subscript>N<subscript>3</subscript>, and UN<subscript>2</subscript> crystals is used for reconstructing the pair potentials of interaction of the nearest neighbors and subsequent molecular dynamics simulation. The corresponding parameters of the U−N potential in U<subscript>2</subscript>N<subscript>3</subscript> and UN<subscript>2</subscript> crystals are obtained from the experimental values of the lattice constant and the bulk moduli of UN, U<subscript>2</subscript>N<subscript>3</subscript>, UN<subscript>2</subscript> at room temperature. The linear expansion coefficients of U<subscript>2</subscript>N<subscript>3</subscript> and UN<subscript>2</subscript> crystals, as well as the U<subscript>2</subscript>N<subscript>3</subscript> bulk modulus are estimated within the harmonic approximation. The dependences of the U<subscript>2</subscript>N<subscript>3</subscript> and UN<subscript>2</subscript> lattice constants on temperature are calculated by the molecular dynamics method.
