The 'granite encapsulation' route to the safe disposal of Pu and other actinide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Waste actinides, including plutonium, present a long-term management problem and a serious security issue. Immobilisation in mineral or ceramic waste forms for interim storage is a widely proposed first step.

Approaching Sixfold Chemical Bonding: Metal Dimers MM' Involving Group 4–8 Transition Metals and the Actinides Th–Np. Additive Covalent Radii r6$r_6$

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Twelve‐valence‐electron transition metal dimers MM', like diatomic Mo2, can have nearly sixfold bonds. Values of r6$r_6$ for over 20 elements from Sc to Pu are proposed. ABSTRACT A set of additive covalent radii is fitted to a combination of experimental data, accurate ab initio computations, and more approximate DFT MM' bond lengths, R$R$, with 12 ...

Application of a Two-Parameter Quantum Algebra to Rotational Spectroscopy of Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
A two-parameter quantum algebra $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ is briefly investigated in this paper. The basic ingredients of a model based on the $U_{qp}({\rm u}_2)$ symmetry, the $qp$-rotator model, are presented in detail.

Unexpected Products Isolated From Neptunium Halide Syntheses

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Unanticipated products can crystallize when doing ligand substitution chemistry of NpCl4(DME)2 (DME = 1,2‐dimethoxyethane). Dissolution of NpCl4(DME)2 in CDCl3 can recrystallize the dimer [NpCl3(μ‐Cl)(DME)]2. The presence of hydroxylammonium from oxidation state adjustment can result in the isolation of (NH3OH)2[NpCl6]•3(1,4‐dioxane). The contamination

Strongly Enhanced Low Energy Alpha-Particle Decay in Heavy Actinide Nuclei and Long-Lived Superdeformed and Hyperdeformed Isomeric States

open access: yes, 2000
Relatively low energy and very enhanced alpha-particle groups have been observed in various actinide fractions produced via secondary reactions in a CERN W target which had been irradiated with 24-GeV protons. In particular, 5.14, 5.27 and 5.53 MeV alpha-

Fractionation of Milligram Quantities of Gadolinium and Terbium Ions by Annular Free‐Flow Isotachophoresis

open access: yesELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fractionation of milligram quantities of gadolinium (Gd) and terbium (Tb) ions is demonstrated using annular free‐flow isotachophoresis (ITP) with ammonium as the leading ion and hydronium as the terminating ion, and α‐hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBA) and acetate as lanthanide complexing ligands.
