Radioparagenesis: The formation of novel compounds and crystalline structures via radioactive decay

When a crystalline material is made with radioactive isotopes, the structure of that material will change as the radioisotope decays. Using density functional theory, we explore the potential structures formed from this decay, a process we term radioparagenesis. Using three systems as examples – CsC...
