Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic structure and bonding in transuranics: Comparison with lanthanides☆
TL;DR: The physico-chemical properties of actinide metals, alloys, and compounds show interesting parallels and contrasts with the rare earths, beyond uranium as mentioned in this paper, but their electronic properties are entirely different.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermochemical studies on the plutonium fluorides and protactinium ovides
P.D Kleinschmidt,John W. Ward +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ionivation and appearance potentials of parent and fragment ions from the neutral molecules PuF6 and PuF5 were measured using electron impact ionivation, and the enthalpies of formation of Pa(g, PaO(g) and PaO2(g)) were calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic properties and structure of the plutonium-hydrogen system
TL;DR: In this article, the resistivity and magnetic susceptibility on five compositions of plutonium hydride, PuHx, have been measured from 1.300 K to 1.8 eV below the Fermi energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic structure, bonding and chemisorption in metallic hydrides
TL;DR: In this article, a unifying concept for the poisoning process of hydride storage systems is proposed, which satisfactorily correlates many of the properties of transition metal, rare earth and actinide hydrides.
Journal ArticleDOI
The solubility of hydrogen and deuterium in alloyed, unalloyed and impure plutonium metal
TL;DR: In this article, pressure-composition-temperature (PCT) data for the plutonium-hydrogen and plutonium-deuterium (Pu-D) systems in the solubility region up to terminal Solubility (precipitation of PuH2).
