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 …

The recent discovery of superconductivity in paramagnetic UTe2 turns spotlight on a serious
candidate for spin-triplet state. To draw a complete picture of the superconducting state in …

Relativistic multireference ab initio wave function calculations within the restricted active
space (RAS) framework were performed to calculate metal and ligand X-ray absorption …

Over the last 25 years, x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and x-ray magnetic
circular dichroism (XMCD) have proven to be particularly suitable for the study of the …

A new Fano profile of a flat line is achieved experimentally by manipulating the relative
amplitude of the continuum path, when q takes the pure imaginary number of-i in the x-ray …

Understanding the possible change in UO2 surface reactivity after exposure to oxidants is of
key importance when assessing the impact of spent nuclear fuel dissolution on the safety of …

The spin state transition from low spin to high spin upon substrate addition is one of the key
steps in cytochrome P450 catalysis. External perturbations such as pH and hydrogen …

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) is the interaction between electron's spin and orbital motion,
which could realize a charge-to-spin current conversion and enable an innovative method to …

As B12 clusters exhibit significant structural stability due to double aromaticity, metal doped-
B12 clusters often prefer a half sandwich structure. Herein, we report a systematic theoretical …

Isolating isomorphic compounds of tetravalent actinides (ie, ThIV, UIV, NpIV, and PuIV)
improve our understanding of the bonding behavior across the series, in addition to their …
