Probing the 5f Electrons in Am-I by Hybrid Density Functional Theory

Raymond Atta-Fynn, Asok K. Ray

The ground states of the actinides and their compounds continue to be matters of considerable controversies. Experimentally, Americium-I (Am-I) is a non-magnetic dhcp metal whereas…

A Relativistic DFT Study of Water Adsorption on delta-Plutonium (111) Surface

Raymond Atta-Fynn, Asok K. Ray

Scalar-relativistic DFT-GGA has been used to study adsorption of water in molecular and dissociative configurations on delta-Plutonium (111) surface. In molecular state, water is p…

Does hybrid density functional theory predict a non-magnetic ground state for delta-Plutonium?

Raymond Atta-Fynn, Asok K. Ray

Hybrid density functionals, which replaces a fraction of density functional theory (DFT) exchange with exact Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange, have been used to study the structural, mag…
