Local aging effects in PuB: Growing inhomogeneity and slow dynamics of local-field fluctuations probed by Pu NMR
Seth B. Blackwell, Riku Yamamoto, Sean M. Thomas +6
The effect of self-irradiation damage can influence many properties of a radioactive material. Actinide materials involving the decay through alpha radiation have been frequently s…
Gamma and Decay Energy Spectroscopy Measurements of Trinitite
D. J. Mercer, K. E. Koehler, M. P. Croce +5
We report gamma ray spectroscopy measurements of trinitite samples and analogous samples obtained from detonation sites in Nevada and Semipalatinsk, as well as in situ measurements…
First Measurements of Nuclear Detonation Debris with Decay Energy Spectroscopy
Mark P. Croce, Katrina E. Koehler, Veronika Mocko +4
We report the first isotopic composition measurements of trinitite, nuclear detonation debris from the Trinity test, using the novel forensics technique of decay energy spectroscop…
Pu nuclear magnetic resonance in the candidate topological insulator PuB
A. P. Dioguardi, H. Yasuoka, S. M. Thomas +9
We present a detailed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of Pu in bulk and powdered single-crystal plutonium tetraboride (PuB), which has recently been investigat…
Vacuum Formed Temporary Spherical and Toroidal Bent Crystal Analyzers for High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy
Evan P. Jahrman, William M. Holden, Alexander S. Ditter +3
We demonstrate that vacuum forming of 10-cm diameter silicon wafers of various crystallographic orientations under an x-ray permeable, flexible window can easily generate spherical…
An Improved Laboratory-Based XAFS and XES Spectrometer for Analytical Applications in Materials Chemistry Research
Evan P. Jahrman, William M. Holden, Alex S. Ditter +8
X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and x-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) are advanced x-ray spectroscopies that impact a wide range of disciplines. However, unlike the majority…
Ferromagnetic Quantum Critical Point in CePdP with Pd Ni Substitution
Y. Lai, S. E. Bone, M. G. Ferrier +12
An investigation of the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic transport properties of the isoelectronic chemical substitution series Ce(PdNi)P is reported,…
A Compact Dispersive Refocusing Rowland Circle X-ray Emission Spectrometer for Laboratory, Synchrotron, and XFEL Applications
William M. Holden, Oliver R. Hoidn, Alexander S. Ditter +9
X-ray emission spectroscopy is emerging as an important complement to x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, providing a characterization of the occupied electronic density…
Probing Electronic Correlations in Actinide Materials Using Multipolar Transitions
J. A. Bradley, S. Sen Gupta, G. T. Seidler +7
We report nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering from the semi-core 5d levels of several actinide compounds. Dipole-forbidden, high-multipole features form a rich bound-state spect…
