Heat capacities and thermal conductivities of AmO$$_{2}$$ and AmO$$_{1.5}$$

Nishi, Tsuyoshi; Ito, Akinori*; Ichise, Kenichi ; Arai, Yasuo

The thermal diffusivities of AmO$$_{2}$$ and AmO$$_{1.5}$$ were measured by using a laser flash method. The heat capacities of AmO$$_{2}$$ and AmO$$_{1.5}$$ were measured by using a drop calorimetry. In these results, the heat capacity of AmO$$_{2}$$ was larger than that of AmO$$_{1.5}$$ and close to that of UO$$_{2}$$. The thermal conductivities of AmO$$_{2}$$ and AmO$$_{1.5}$$ were found to decrease with increasing temperature in the temperature range investigated. The thermal conductivity of AmO$$_{2}$$ from 473 to 773 K was slightly smaller than those of UO$$_{2}$$ and PuO$$_{2}$$ and close to that of NpO$$_{2}$$. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of AmO$$_{1.5}$$ with A-type rare earth oxide structure was smaller than that of AmO$$_{2}$$ with fluorite structure and larger than that of non-stoichiometric AmO$$_{1.73}$$.
