  • Theoretical study of beryllium borohydride Be(BH₄)₂

    Creator:
    Alghamdi, Maha D.
    Abstract:
    Ab initio calculations using the B3LYP and CCSD(T) methods were employed in this work to explore the most stable structure of the intriguing compound Be(BH₄)₂, for which as many as seven different structures have been proposed in the literature. Use of the B3LYP density functional method with several large basis...

  • Design of a Self-Regulating Deep Space Nuclear Reactor

    Creator:
    Robinson, Matthew Loren
    Abstract:
    An enabling technology for long duration, deep space missions is the availability of a high power, long-lived power supply. The goal of this work is the design of a self-regulating deep space nuclear reactor. The design objectives are to produce 250 kWth for a 25-year period using the presence of...
