{ital Ab initio} full charge-density study of the atomic volume of {alpha}-phase Fr, Ra, Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np, and Pu

Journal Article Vitos, L ; Kollar, J ; Skriver, H L - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

We have used a full charge-density technique based on the linear muffin-tin orbitals method in first-principles calculations of the atomic volumes of the light actinides including Fr, Ra, and Ac in their low-temperature crystallographic phases. The good agreement between the theoretical and experimental values along the series support the picture of itinerant 5f electronic states in Th to Pu. The increased deviation between theory and experiment found in Np and Pu may be an indication of correlation effects not included in the local density approximation. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Role of d and f orbitals in the geometries of low-valent actinide compounds. Ab initio studies of U(CH{sub 3}){sub 3}, Np(CH{sub 3}){sub 3}, and Pu(CH{sub 3}){sub 3}

Journal Article Ortiz, J V ; Hay, P J ; Martin, R L - Journal of the American Chemical Society

While organoactinide compounds are traditionally characterized by high oxidation states and coordination numbers, the synthesis, chemistry, and electronic properties of low-valent actinide complexes have been receiving greater attention in recent years. Specific examples of complexes in the AnL family are represented by U[N(SiMe{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sub 3}, U[CH(SiMe{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sub 3}, and Np and Pu analogues, for which cases the ligands adopt a pyramidal arrangement around the actinide. In this communication, the authors report the results of one of the first studies of such low-valent complexes to be carried out using ab initio electronic structure techniques.

Determination of Thermal Expansion, Defect Formation Energy, and Defect-Induced Strain of α-U Via ab Initio Molecular Dynamics

Journal Article Beeler, Benjamin ; Mahbuba, Khadija ; Wang, Yuhao ; ... - Frontiers in Materials

Uranium (U) is often alloyed with molybdenum (Mo) or zirconium (Zr) in order to stabilize its high-temperature body-centered cubic phase for use in nuclear reactors. However, in all metallic fuel forms, the α phase of U remains in some fraction. This phase decomposition due to temperature or compositional variance can play an outsized role on fuel performance and microstructural evolution. Relatively little is known about fundamental point defect properties in α -U at non-zero temperatures, from either computational or experimental studies. This work performs the first thorough evaluation of the α phase of U via ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD).more »« less
