Plutonium compounds with higher oxidation states, such as plutonium (VI), are generally more stable than those with lower oxidation states. Complex Formation: Plutonium has the ability to form complex ...

Sarrao and co-workers found that the transition temperature (T c) in the plutonium compound – the temperature at which the electrical resistance of a superconducting material drops to zero – is an ...

Plutonium compounds have excellent potential for space power applications, both thermoelectric and thermionic. This paper attempts to systematically present the various information available in the ...

Their findings, detailed in the May 18 issue of the journal Science, could help scientists and others figure out the relative amounts of different types of plutonium (and its many compounds) in ...

In general, the spectroscopic characterization of plutonium-bearing compounds contained within radiological spaces is conducted with fiber optics to deliver the light to the sample and extract ...

The atomic nucleus of plutonium-239 has a spin of ½ and a high nuclear moment, so should be active in NMR spectroscopy. However, other characteristics of the atom, such as its enormous internal ...
