Large Kohn anomaly and phonon collapse induced by charge density wave in UPtSi
Jooseop Lee, Greta L. Chappell, Ryan E. Baumbach +2
Using high-energy-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering, we observe anomalous softening and damping of the transverse acoustic phonon in UPtSi as the system is cooled towar…

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…

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…
