Actinide elements produce a plethora of interesting physical behaviors due to the 5 f states.
This review compiles and analyzes progress in the understanding of the electronic and …

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 …

By the local density approximation with on-site Coulomb repulsion U (LDA+ U) method with
spin-orbit coupling (LDA+ U+ SO) the magnetic state and electronic structure have been …

Plutonium and plutonium-based alloys containing Al or Ga exhibit numerous phases with
crystal structures ranging from simple monoclinic to face-centered cubic. Only recently …

Synchrotron-radiation-based x-ray absorption, electron energy-loss spectroscopy in a
transmission electron microscope, multielectronic atomic spectral simulations, and improved …

High resolution photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) studies were conducted on a gallium
stabilized δ-phase plutonium sample cleaned by laser ablation and gas dosed with O2 and …

By combining the local density approximation (LDA) with dynamical mean field theory
(DMFT), we report a systematic analysis of the spectral properties of δ-plutonium with …

Quantitative analysis of the x-ray photoelectron spectra structure in the binding energy (BE)
range of 0 eV–∼ 35 eV for plutonium dioxide (PuO 2) valence electrons was done. The BEs …

The field of strongly correlated electron systems has been constantly growing for almost
three decades. A milestone in its development was the discovery by Andres, Graebner and …

Hydrogen adsorption on δ-Pu (100) and (111) surfaces using the generalized gradient
approximation of the density functional theory with Perdew and Wang functionals have been …
