Active-learned potentials reveal the interplay between the structure and dynamics in thorium molten salts (opens in new tab)

Author(s): Vitor Ferreira Grizzi, Benjamin Nebgen, and Y ZThe introduction of high-valence actinides, such as thorium and uranium, into molten alkali halide induces complex structural correlations and intermediate-range ordering, presenting a daunting challenge for computational materials science. Because these dynamic topological features span length scal…[Phys. Rev. Materials 10, 065606] Published Thu Jun 18, 2026
