| Abstract Scope |
Investigating the fundamental properties of actinide systems poses significant challenges due to the dual nature of their 5f-states and the toxic and reactive nature of actinide materials. Actinide oxides, despite their relatively simple crystal structures as insulators, hold promise for unraveling complex magnetic behavior. However, the understanding of these fundamental properties is hindered by various synthetic and characterization obstacles. This presentation explores the intricate behavior of actinide oxides, with a particular focus on the synthesis techniques employed, the crystal structures formed, and the magnetic properties observed. Additionally, it provides an overview of the current knowledge in this field while emphasizing the substantial gaps that exist in comprehending the magnetic ground states of actinide oxide materials. Such knowledge is the foundation for advancing our understanding of actinide systems and pave the way for future advancements in this important area of research. |
