Objective
The actinide elements and compounds are of great scientific interest, and they have important applications in nuclear technology. Research on these compounds can be very rewarding since many of their properties are little understood.
We propose to study actinide compounds with neutron and x-ray scattering techniques, which provide very valuable information concerning the microscopic properties of matter. One project will be the use of neutrons to study the analogs of the famous heavy-fermion superconductors UBel3 and UPd2Al3 with uranium replaced by neptunium. Work on the magnetic properties of UBe13 will also be pursued.
The developement of state-of the-art synchrotron x-ray techniques for the study of surfaces of actinides will be an other main area of research. These techniques, supplemented by experiments on surfaces, thin films, and multilayers using both neutron and x-ray scattering, will help us understand the nature of interaction between the actines and the surrounding atomic species.
