Density-functional theory for plutonium
Advances in Physics, 2019 We review developments in the theoretical description and understanding of plutonium in terms of a metal with itinerant (band) 5f electrons. Within this picture most facets of this remarkable and anomalous material are accurately described by first ...

Cancer Research and Cellular Therapeutics, 2019 In the current study, thermoplasmonic characteristics of Plutonium nanoparticles with spherical, core–shell and rod shapes are investigated. In order to investigate these characteristics, interaction of synchrotron radiation emission as a function of the
