Pu 5f Occupation in Plutonium Dioxide

Pu 5f Occupation in Plutonium Dioxide

An actinide N4,5 branching ratio analysis of PuO2 and UO2 has been performed, including measurements with a scanning transmission electron microscope at the Advanced Light Source. It is shown that the 5f occupation of the Pu in plutonium dioxide is n = 5. This is contrary to recent results from anot...

Zusammenfassung:An actinide N4,5 branching ratio analysis of PuO2 and UO2 has been performed, including measurements with a scanning transmission electron microscope at the Advanced Light Source. It is shown that the 5f occupation of the Pu in plutonium dioxide is n = 5. This is contrary to recent results from another technique.
