This update covers the literature published between approximately June 2021 and May
2022 and is the latest part of a series of annual reviews. It is designed to provide the reader …

Intrinsic properties of a compound (eg, electronic structure, crystallographic structure, optical
and magnetic properties) define notably its chemical and physical behavior. In the case of …

ROBL-II provides four different experimental stations to investigate actinide and other alpha-
and beta-emitting radionuclides at the new EBS storage ring of ESRF within an energy …

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy, coupled with ab initio
calculations, has emerged as the state-of-the-art tool for elucidating the metal-ligand …

Chlorine K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) in actinideIV
hexachlorides,[AnCl6] 2−(An= Th–Pu), is calculated with relativistic multiconfiguration …

The nanoscience field often produces results more mystifying than any other discipline. It
has been argued that changes in the plutonium dioxide (PuO2) particle size from bulk to …

Actinide research at the nanoscale is gaining fundamental interest due to environmental and
industrial issues. The knowledge of the local structure and speciation of actinide …

Due to the increased attention given to actinide nanomaterials, the question of their structure–
property relationship is on the spotlight of recent publications. Plutonium oxide (PuO2) …

Fundamental knowledge about plutonium intrinsic colloids is a key issue for the prediction of
plutonium transport and release rates in the environment. Recent studies demonstrated that …

The structural characterisation of actinide nanoparticles (NPs) is of primary importance and
hard to achieve, especially for non‐homogeneous samples with NPs less than 3 nm. By …
