(U,Pu,Am)Oの酸素ポテンシャル等温曲線を化学熱力学モデルにより解析した。5つの化学種及びそれらの間の相互作用を考慮した。(Am,U)Oの酸素ポテンシャルを解析し、AmOとUOの間の相互作用を求め、本モデルに導入することにより、実験値を良好に表す曲線を得た。

The oxygen potential isotherms of (U,Pu,Am)O were represented by a chemical thermodynamic model proposed by Lindemer et al. It was assumed in the present model that (U,Pu,Am)O consisted of the chemical species PuO, PuO, AmO, AmO and UO in a pseudo-quaternary system by treating the reduction rates of Pu and Am as identical; furthermore an interaction between AmO and UO was introduced. The agreement between analytical and experimental isotherms was good, but the analytical values slightly overestimated the experimental values especially in the case of lower Am content. Adding an interaction between AmO and PuO to the model resulted in a better representation.
