Abstract
A set of molecular dynamics simulations in the microcanonical ensemble has been performed in order to study the diffusion of lithium in gamm a-LiAlO2, since this material is considered as candidate material for tritium breeder for fusion reactors, In this system tritium release an d diffusion depends on the diffusion of lithium. Radial distribution f unctions, diffusion coefficient and activation energy for the process were determined from our calculations.
