Thermal cycling as a novel method to experimentally derive the “equilibrium” Pu–Ga phase diagram

The feasibility of using thermal cycling to experimentally derive the “equilibrium” Pu–Ga phase diagram in the Pu-rich end is discussed, in particular the effect of thermal cycling on the decomposition of δ-stabilized Pu alloys at ambient pressure. This is an alternative to the Russian method and wa...
