Thermochemistry of Polonium Evaporation from LBE
Thermo, 2021 Polonium is formed in relatively large quantities in lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) cooled nuclear systems. Because of its radiotoxicity and volatility, a good understanding of the chemical equilibria governing polonium release from LBE is required. In this

Ocean Acidification-Mediated Food Chain Transfer of Polonium between Primary Producers and Consumers
Toxics, 2022 Phytoplankton and zooplankton are key marine components that play an important role in metal distribution through a food web transfer. An increased phytoplankton concentration as a result of ocean acidification and warming are well-established, along ...

The simple-cubic structure of elemental Polonium and its relation to combined charge and orbital order in other elemental chalcogens [PDF]
SciPost Physics, 2018 Polonium is the only element to crystallise into a simple cubic structure at ambient conditions. Moreover, at high temperatures it undergoes a structural phase transition into a less symmetric trigonal configuration.

Two-dimensional square lattice polonium stabilized by the spin–orbit coupling [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Polonium is known as the only simple metal that has the simple cubic (SC) lattice in three dimension. There is a debate about whether the stabilized SC structure is attributed to the scalar relativistic effect or the spin–orbit coupling (SOC).
