Understanding the size effects on the electronic structure of ThO2 nanoparticles
Lucia Amidani, Tatiana V. Plakhova, Anna Yu. Romanchuk +7
Developing characterization techniques and analysis methods adapted to the investigation of nanoparticles (NPs) is of fundamental importance considering the role of these materials…
The application of HEXS and HERFD XANES for accurate structural characterization of actinide nanomaterials: application to ThO2
Lucia Amidani, Gavin B. M. Vaughan, Tatiana V. Plakhova +7
Structural characterization of actinide nanoparticles (NPs) is of primary importance and hard to achieve, especially for non-homogeneous samples with NPs below 3 nm. By combining H…
Role of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering in high-resolution core-level spectroscopy of actinide materials
K. O. Kvashnina, S. M. Butorin
This paper provides a brief overview of applications of advanced X-ray spectroscopic techniques that take advantage of the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) in the hard an…
The chemical state of complex uranium oxides
K. O. Kvashnina, S. M. Butorin, P. Martin +1
We report here the first direct observation of U(V) in uranium binary oxides and analyze the gradual conversion of the U oxidation state in the mixed uranium systems. Our finding c…
Structural properties of amorphous metal carbides; theory and experiment
K. Kadas, M. Andersson, E. Holmstrom +8
By means of theoretical modeling and experimental synthesis and characterization, we investigate the structural properties of amorphous Zr-Si-C. Two chemical compositions are selec…
