The borders of the periodic table of the elements and of the chart of nuclides are not set in
stone. The desire to explore the properties of atoms and their nuclei in a regime of very large …

During the last decade, six new superheavy elements were added into the seventh period of
the periodic table, with the approval of their names and symbols. This milestone was …

LANTHANIDE AND ACTINIDE CHEMISTRY Lanthanides and actinides, also known as “f
elements,” are a group of metals which share certain important properties and aspects of …

Written by established experts in the field, this book features in-depth discussions of proven
scientific principles, current trends, and applications of nuclear chemistry to the sciences and …

The chemical properties of an element are primarily governed by the configuration of
electrons in the valence shell. Relativistic effects influence the electronic structure of heavy …

The real-space Green's function code FEFF has been extensively developed and used for
calculations of X-ray and related spectra, including X-ray absorption (XAS), X-ray emission …

Chemical investigations of superheavy elements in the gas-phase, ie elements with Z≥ 104,
allow assessing the influence of relativistic effects on their chemical properties. Furthermore …

INTRODUCTION Developing the chemistry of late actinides is hindered by the lack of
availability of isotopes, the need for specialized research facilities, and the nuclear instability …

Theoretical chemical studies demonstrated crucial importance of relativistic effects in the
physics and chemistry of superheavy elements (SHEs). Performed, with many of them, in a …
