摘要
光电子能谱可以研究锕系元素及其化合物的电子结构和化学键,深入了解氧化态、化学环境和电子构型。这些知识有助于理解锕系元素材料的反应性、稳定性和其他特性,这对于确保核应用中的安全处理、储存和处置至关重要。我们回顾了锕系元素核心级光致发光研究的多项成果,尤其侧重于 X 射线光致发光光谱(XPS)技术。锕系元素由于其固有的放射性,在 XPS 方面的研究不如周期表中的其他元素。考虑到与锕系元素研究相关的固有安全问题、设备要求和较短的同位素寿命,我们概述了对这些元素进行成功和安全的 XPS 实验所必需的策略和预防措施。核心级光致发光是研究锕系元素的电子结构、化学键行为和物理性质的有力工具,可为了解这些系统极其复杂的行为提供宝贵的见解。我们重点介绍了近期研究的主要发现,这些发现证明了核心级光致发光在揭示锕系元素及其化合物独特性质方面的潜力。最后,我们指出了当前的知识空白和未来的研究方向,这些研究方向可以增强我们对锕系元素化学和物理的理解。
Photoelectron spectroscopy allows for the investigation of the electronic structure and chemical bonding of actinide elements and their compounds, providing insights into oxidation states, chemical environments, and electronic configurations. This knowledge can aid in comprehending reactivity, stability, and other properties of actinide materials, which is essential for ensuring safe handling, storage, and disposal in nuclear applications. We have reviewed a number of results in actinide core-level photoemission studies, with a particular focus on x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Actinides, due to their inherent radioactivity, have not been as well studied with XPS as have other segments of the periodic table. Given the inherent safety concerns, equipment requirements, and short isotopic lifetimes associated with actinide research, we outline the strategies and precautions necessary for conducting successful and safe XPS experiments on these elements. Core-level photoemission can be a powerful proven tool for investigating the electronic structure, chemical bonding behaviors, and physical properties of actinides, providing valuable insights into an incredibly complex behavior of these systems. We highlight key findings from recent studies that demonstrate the potential of core-level photoemission in uncovering the unique properties of actinides and their compounds. Finally, we identify current knowledge gaps and future research directions that could enhance our understanding of actinide chemistry and physics.
