Densities of a large number of samples old plutonium metal are being measured, to determine the magnitude of density changes as a function of metal age. Radioactive decay produces helium within the metal lattice structure. Simultaneously, radioactive decay disrupts the metal lattice, producing ...
Plutonium, because of its radioactive nature, ages from the "inside out" by means of self-irradiation damage and thus produces Frankel-type defects (vacancies and self-interstitial atoms) and defect clusters. The self-irradiation damage in Plutonium-239 occurs mainly by α-particle decay, where ...
Total energies for the six known polymorphs of plutonium metal have been calculated within spin and orbital polarized density-functional theory as a function of lattice constant. Theoretical equilibrium volumes and bulk moduli correspond well with experimental data and the calculated total energies are co...
The ground-state α phase of plutonium has an extraordinary 16-atom per cell, monoclinic crystal structure defined by 20 parameters, including the cell dimensions, not dictated by the symmetry. The electronic, magnetic, and elastic properties of this complicated material have been predicted in the ...

The structural and electronic properties of Pu2On (n = 1–8) molecules have been systematically studied within the screened hybrid density functional theory. On the basis of the calculations, plutonium and oxygen generally prefers forming Pu–O and Pu–O–Pu bonds over to Pu–Pu or O–O bon...
