First-principles study of intrinsic point defects and Xe impurities in uranium monocarbide

Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we perform an extensive investigation of intrinsic point defects and Xe impurities in uranium monocarbide (UC). The DFT calculations involve both the conventional generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the GGA+U approach with the Hubbard p...
