Description
The two faces of curium: The first curium borate has been prepared showing a complex structure with coordination environments for CmIII that are found in both PuIII and AmIII borates. Time-resolved laser-induced photoluminescence studies as well as X-ray diffraction experiments show two distinct CmIII sites with different coordination environments.
Abstract (German)
Facettenreiches Curium: Das erste Curiumborat wurde synthetisiert und zeigt eine komplexe Struktur mit CmIII-Koordinationsumgebungen, wie sie fuer PuIII- und AmIII-Borate gefunden wurden (siehe Bild). Zeitaufloesende laserinduzierte Photolumineszenzuntersuchungen sowie Roentgenbeugungsexperimente ergaben zwei individuelle CmIII-Zentren mit unterschiedlichen Koordinationsumgebungen.Additional details
