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 …

Covalency in Ln–Cl bonds of O h-LnCl6 x–(x= 3 for Ln= CeIII, NdIII, SmIII, EuIII, GdIII; x= 2 for
Ln= CeIV) anions has been investigated, primarily using Cl K-edge X-ray absorption …

This paper provides a review of the characterization of organic systems via X-ray Raman
scattering (XRS) and a step-by-step guidance for its application. We present the …

Using high resolution tender x-ray resonant inelastic scattering and hard x-ray nonresonant
inelastic scattering beyond the dipole limit we were able to detect electronic excitations in …

Uranium compounds supported by redox-active α-diimine ligands, which have methyl
groups on the ligand backbone and bulky mesityl substituents on the nitrogen atoms …

We present a new x-ray Raman spectroscopy end-station recently developed, installed, and
operated at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource. The end-station is located at …

We investigated the crystal-electric field ground state of the 4 f manifold in the strongly
correlated topological insulator SmB 6 using core-level nonresonant inelastic x-ray …

Reaction of UCl4 with 5 equiv of Li (N CtBuPh) generates the homoleptic U (IV) ketimide
complex [Li (THF) 2][U (N CtBuPh) 5](1) in 71% yield. Similarly, reaction of UCl4 with 5 …

The second-order phase transition into a hidden order phase in URu2Si2 goes along with
an order parameter that is still a mystery, despite 30 years of research. However, it is …

Emission spectroscopy has been used for the first time in a spectroscopic study of a family of
uranium (IV) halide complexes in non-aqueous media. The room temperature electronic …
