Spectroscopic characterization of neptunium(VI), plutonium(VI), americium(VI) and neptunium(V) encapsulated in uranyl nitrate hexahydrate
Abstract
The solid-state electronic structure of oxidized actinides was probed by co-crystallization of Np(vi), Pu(vi), Am(vi), and Np(v) with UO2(NO3)2·6H2O. XAS measurements and the solid-state absorption spectra were coupled with theoretical calculations.
