Abstract:We have studied the electronic, lattice dynamical, and electron-phonon properties of the actinides [Formula: see text]Th alloy within the framework of density functional perturbation theory. The self-consistent virtual crystal approximation is used for the alloy modeling, and spin-orbit coupling is included in the calculation of all relevant quantities. An overall decrease of the electron-phonon coupling (λ) by [Formula: see text] from Ac to Th was observed. However, its dependence on x shows a non-linear beha… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
