Corrigendum to “Thermophysical properties of U₃Si₂ to 1773 K” [J. Nucl. Mater. (2015) 464 (275–280)] (S002231151500241X)(10.1016/j.jnucmat.2015.04.031)

An error was discovered by the authors in the calculation of thermal diffusivity in “Thermophysical properties of U₃Si₂ to 1773 K” [1]. The error was caused by operator error in entry of parameters used to fit the temperature rise versus time model necessary to calculate the thermal diffusivity. This error propagated to the calculation of thermal conductivity, leading to values that were 18%–28% larger along with the corresponding calculated Lorenz values. This error affects Figs. 5 and 6, Eqn. (4), and Table A.1 of the text. The corrected Figs. 5 and 6 are shown below along with the updated residual squares analysis of thermal conductivity versus temperature in Eqn. (4) and tabulated thermophysical property values in Table A.1. The residual sum of squares, R², for Eqn. (4) did not change with the updated thermal conductivity values. Thermal conductivity values in Fig. 6 are in better accord with Shimizu's arc-cast data [2] and the calculated Lorentz values, shown in the inset of Fig. 6, are in better agreement with the expected Lorentz value.[figure
