| Abstract Scope |
Uranium compounds exhibit a diverse range of unique physical, chemical, and magnetic properties due to the intricate nature of their 5f electronic structure. In this presentation we will delve into magneto-structural correlations observed in selected uranium-based thin films, with a specific emphasis on designing magnetic characteristics such as magnetic anisotropy and magnetic ordering. The talk will cover experimental approaches, involving incorporation of different elements through layering and epitaxial stabilization to create materials that are inherently unstable in their bulk form. It will encompass laboratory x-ray diffraction and synchrotron radiation-based investigations, as well as theoretical modeling of materials, including those with localized 5f electrons (e.g., UO2) and itinerant 5f electrons (e.g., uranium tellurides). Additionally, a new exploration into exchange bias studies in thin films of actinides, especially uranium dioxide, will be presented, revealing potential applications in data storage technologies. |
