~(237)Np Moessbauer studies on actinide superconductors and related materials

摘要

Actinide materials play a special role in condensed matter physics, spanning behaviours of itinerant d-electron and localized 4f-electron materials. This duality of the 5f electrons confer to actinide-based intermetallic compounds a broad variety of physical properties such as magnetic or multipolar ordering, heavy fermion behaviour, quantum criticality, unconventional superconductivity... ~(237)Np Moessbauer spectroscopy is a unique microscopic tool for gaining information on the electronic and magnetic properties of Np systems.
