Microscopic investigation of enhanced Pauli paramagnetism in metallic PuC
R. Yamamoto, M. S. Cook, A. R. Altenhof +13
A combined study of the structural and electronic properties of polycrystalline PuC is reported based on x-ray diffraction, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, ${}^{13}…
Adaptation of Wallace's Approach to the Specific Heat of Elemental Solids with Significant Intrinsic Anharmonicity, Particularly the Light Actinide Metals
Christopher A. Mizzi, W. Adam Phelan, Matthew S. Cook +6
The quasiharmonic approximation is the most common method for modeling the specific heat of solids; however, it fails to capture the effects of intrinsic anharmonicity. In this stu…
Unveiling the 5 electron hybridization process in UPdAl via ARPES and Time-resolved PES
Jiao-Jiao Song, Qi-Yi Wu, Chen Zhang +15
This study investigates the 5-electron-conduction electron hybridization process in the heavy fermion superconductor UPdAl using a combination of angle-resolved photoemi…
A noncollinear density functional theory ansatz for the phononic and thermodynamic properties of -Pu
Alexander R. Muñoz, W. Adam Phelan, Matthew S. Cook +6
Plutonium's phase diagram is host to complex structures and interactions that make the description of its ground state properties elusive. Using all-electron density functional the…
