Specific Heat in the Pu-Am system
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Specific heat of Pu doped with Am was studied for several Am concentrations (8-20%) ensuring the δ-Pu fcc structure. The results reveal that the γ value of the low temperature specific heat is lower than originally assumed (γ of 35 - 55 mJ/mol K2 can be deduced for Pu-8%Am) and does not increase with the Am-induced lattice expansion. The findings can be taken as an indication of the absence of the Pu-5f states at the Fermi level.
