Volume

v. 1 ISBN 9780444869036

Description

In the last 20 years actinide research has presented unique challenges both for experimentalists and theorists. Their uniqueness stems not only from their nuclear properties, which since the early 1940's have led to their important role in nuclear energy and nuclear technology, but also from their unusual chemical and physical properties which have added new excitement and discoveries to both these disciplines. Containing comprehensive, critical, broad and up to date reviews covering both the physics and chemistry of these exotic elements the Handbook is primarily directed at and a must for those active in the field. It will also be invaluable to those about to enter or marginally interested in this field.

Table of Contents

Preface. 1. Atomic properties of the actinides (J.P. Desclaux and A.J. Freeman). 2. Sample preparation and crystal growth for solid state actinide research (J.C. Spirlet and O. Vogt). 3.

v. 6 ISBN 9780444874474

Description

In the last 15 years, actinide research has presented unique challenges both for experimentalists and theorists. Their uniqueness stems not only from their nuclear properties, which since the early 1940's has led to their important role in nuclear energy and nuclear technology, but also from their unusual chemical and physical properties which have added new excitement and discoveries to both these disciplines. It is the purpose of the Handbook to describe in detail the present understanding of the actinides by means of comprehensive, critical, broad and up-to-date reviews covering both the physics and chemistry of these exotic elements. They are intended to serve as an introduction to the subject for the non-specialist, as a convenient reference work for the specialist, and as a guide for future research. The rapid accelerated pace of research in the last decade continues and carries with it new vigor and excitement to a field in a state of transition. The present sixth volume completes the series. Like volumes 3 and 4, the emphasis is on chemistry, though physical aspects, such as self-radiation effects and electron paramagnetic resonance are also treated.
