【 摘 要 】

Actinide metallurgy, crystallography, physics, and chemistry are of great interest due to the unique behavior of the 5f states that dominate the electronic structure. The 5f states produce a wide range of fascinating behaviors in the actinide materials. from superconductivity to exotic magnetism. Accordingly, they are of great interest, but are difficult to work with. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can overcome many of the problems of working with actinide materials and can be used to interrogate the atomic and electronic structure of actinide materials. We will cover our capabilities at LLNL: Sample preparation; TEM techniques; and in situ capabilities.
