New surprises “down below”: Recent successes in the synthesis of actinide materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
Recent discoveries of novel electronic states, including relatively high-temperature superconductivity, in the actinides point to exciting prospects for future discoveries at the bottom of the periodic table. A key ingredient in all of the successes discussed here is the role of high-quality synthesis in enabling advances. Results on PuCoGa51, NpPd5Al2, and single crystal uranium are discussed.
