Designing Pu Intermetallics with First Principle Calculations
Matthew S. Cook, David C. Arellano, Derek V. Prada +3
We present the ab initio supported discovery of two new Pu based intermetallic compounds, PuNiSn and PuPtSn. Using density functional theory, the formation energies within the rele…

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…
