Rare-Earth Orthophosphates From Atomistic Simulations

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Lanthanide phosphates (LnPO4) are considered as a potential nuclear waste form for immobilization of Pu and minor actinides (Np, Am, and Cm). In that respect, in the recent years we have applied advanced atomistic simulation methods to investigate ...
