The calculation of the electronic properties of materials is an important task of solid-state
theory, albeit particularly difficult if electronic correlations are strong, eg, in transition metals …

Hydrides of actinides, their magnetic, electronic, transport, and thermodynamic properties
are discussed within a general framework of H impact on bonding, characterized by volume …

Although the nuclear properties of the late actinides (plutonium, americium and curium) are
fully understood and widely applied to energy generation, their solid-state properties do not …

Narrow band materials (transition metals and rare‐earth elements compounds) often reveal
anomalous physical properties. Their electronic structure is strongly renormalized by …

The correlated quasiparticle band structure of iron, cobalt, and nickel is investigated within
the dynamical mean-field theory formalism using the recently developed full-potential linear …

This chapter discusses key aspects related to the assessment of the environmental impact of
plutonium, such as sources, speciation, and underlying processes important for ecosystem …

An understanding of the phase diagram of elemental plutonium (Pu) must include both, the
effects of the strong directional bonding and the high density of states of the Pu 5 f electrons …

In spite of being rare, actinide elements provide the building blocks for many fascinating
condensed-matter systems, both from an experimental and theoretical perspective …

Photoelectron spectroscopy, synchrotron-radiation-based x-ray absorption, electron energy
loss spectroscopy, and density-functional calculations within the mixed-level and magnetic …

We present elastic properties, theoretical and experimental, of Pu metal and Pu-Ga (δ)
alloys together with ab initio equilibrium equation of state for these systems. For the …
