Research on actinide materials, both basic and applied, has been greatly advanced by the
general techniques available from high-intensity photon beams from x-ray synchrotron …

Actinide-based compounds exhibit unique physics due to the presence of 5f electrons, and
serve in many cases as important technological materials. Targeted thin film synthesis of …

We have conducted a series of scattering experiments at the uranium M 4 absorption edge
on low-symmetry uranium compounds (U 2 N 3 and U 3 O 8) produced as epitaxial films. At …

Thin films based on silicon and transition-metal elements dominate the semi-conducting
industry and are ubiquitous in all modern devices. Films have also been produced in the …

By reviewing a selection of X-ray diffraction (XRD), resonant X-ray scattering (RXS), X-ray
magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), resonant and non-resonant inelastic scattering (RIXS …

Uranium ions in the sesquinitride α-U 2 N 3 occupy independent acentric and
centrosymmetric sites according to conventional x-ray diffraction patterns [R. Troć, J. Solid …

We report on the electronic and thermodynamic properties of the antiferromagnetic metal
uranium mononitride with a Néel temperature TN≈ 53 K. The fabrication of microstructures …

The magnetic properties of uranium nitride (UN) surfaces are not well understood
experimentally or computationally but they have a significant effect on UN performance as a …

To mitigate global warming, we need to develop carbon-free ways to generate power.
Nuclear energy currently generates more carbon-free power in the United States than all …
