The chemical state of complex uranium oxides

Materials Science 2015-06-17 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

We report here the first direct observation of U(V) in uranium binary oxides and analyze the gradual conversion of the U oxidation state in the mixed uranium systems. Our finding clarifies previous contradicting results and provides important input for the geological disposal of spent fuel, recycling applications and chemistry of uranium species.
