The local-density approximation combined with the dynamical mean-field theory (LDA+DMFT) is applied to the paramagnetic phase of light actinide dioxides: UO2, NpO2, and PuO2. The calculated band gaps and the valence-band electronic…
The ground state electronic structures of the actinide oxides AO, A2O3 and AO2 (A=U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf) are determined from first-principles calculations, using the self-interaction corrected local spin-density (SIC-LSD) approximation.…
In actinide systems, the 5f electrons experience a uniquely delicate balance of effects and interactions having similar energy scales, which are often difficult to properly disentangle. This interplay of factors such as the dual nature of…
The degrees of the localization and hybridization of the valence $f$ states/covalency of the chemical bonding in actinide and lanthanide dioxides were investigated using the atomic, crystal-field multiplet and Anderson impurity model (AIM)…
The electronic structures of several actinide solid systems are calculated using the self-interaction corrected local spin density approximation. Within this scheme the $5f$ electron manifold is considered to consist of both localized and…
The electronic ground states of the actinide dioxides AnO2 (with An=U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm) are investigated employing first-principles calculations within the framework of the local density approximation +U (LDA+U) approach, implemented in…
The electronic structures of the actinide elements U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm and Bk are investigated within the self-interaction corrected local spin density approximation. This method allows to describe a dual character of the 5f electrons, some…
We study the spin-dependent electronic structure of UTe and UT_{2}Si_{2} (T=Cu and Mn) compounds with a combination of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements and first principle calculations. By exploiting the presence of sizable…
We present a detailed analysis of the one-electron physics of the actinides. Various LMTO basis sets are analyzed in order to determine a robust bare Hamiltonian for the actinides. The hybridization between f- an spd- states is compared…
The electronic structure of the nitrogenase metal cofactors is central to nitrogen fixation. However, the P-cluster and iron molybdenum cofactor, each containing eight irons, have resisted detailed characterization of their electronic…
A key issue in heavy fermion research is how subtle changes in the hybridization between the 4$f$ (5$f$) and conduction electrons can result in fundamentally different ground states. CeRhIn$_5$ stands out as a particularly notable example:…
Motivated by the recently renewed interest in the superconducting bismuth perovskites, we investigate the electronic structure of the parent compounds ABiO$_{3}$ (A= Sr, Ba) using $ab$ $initio$ methods and tight-binding (TB) modeling. We…
Uranium and plutonium's 5f electrons are tenuously poised between strongly bonding with ligand spd-states and residing close to the nucleus. The unusual properties of these elements and their compounds (eg. the six different allotropes of…
The self-interaction corrected (SIC) local spin-density approximation (LSD) is used to investigate the groundstate valency configuration of the actinide ions in the actinide mono-carbides, AC (A = U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm), and the actinide…
In heavy-fermion compounds, the dual character of $f$ electrons underlies their rich and often exotic properties like fragile heavy quasipartilces, variety of magnetic orders and unconventional superconductivity. 5$f$-electron actinide…
The full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method was used to study the crystal structure and electronic structure properties of PbFe0.5Nb0.5O3 (PFN). The optimized crystal structure, density of states, band structure and…
The intricate interplay between itinerant-localized 5f states and strongly correlated electronic states have been systematically investigated in isostructural actinide compounds AnSn3 (An=U, Np, Pu) by using a combination of the density…
GICs doped with elements containing d and f orbitals have been studied rarely. We control the distribution and density of intercalated actinide metals (Th, U and Pu), and consider the effect of changing the distance of two adjacent carbon…
The energy level alignment at organic/inorganic (o/i) semiconductor interfaces is crucial for any light-emitting or -harvesting functionality. Essential is the access to both occupied and unoccupied electronic states directly at the…
We extend a tight-binding method to include the effects of spin-orbit coupling, and apply it to the study of the electronic properties of the actinide elements Th, U, and Pu. These tight-binding parameters are determined for the fcc crystal…
