Speciation of Uranium and Plutonium From Nuclear Legacy Sites to the Environment: A Mini Review
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2020 The row of 15 chemical elements from Ac to Lr with atomic numbers from 89 to 103 are known as the actinides, which are all radioactive. Among them, uranium and plutonium are the most important as they are used in the nuclear fuel cycle and nuclear weapon

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 ...
