Mssbauer spectroscopy of actinide compounds

Tsutsui, Satoshi

Mssbauer spectroscopy of actinide compounds is limited to few facilities in the world. Study of Mssbauer spectroscopy of actinides in Japan was started in Advanced Science Research Center in the 1990s. In this paper, we summarize the research results on the Mssbauer spectroscopy of neptunium intermetallic compound that was started in the Advanced Science Research Center in 1996, and the U-238 Mssbauer spectroscopy started in the institute for Materials Research of Tohoku University. A review of the research results of the Mssbauer spectroscopy of these actinides is devoted to the late emeritus professor of Osaka University Saburo Nasu, who gives important contributions to its development.
