Bonding and valence in uranium compounds with oxygen: a study by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance

  • 1. Facultes Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix, Namur (Belgium)

Description

Uranium oxides UO2, U2O5, U3O8 and UO3 have been studied by X-ray photoemission (E.S.C.A.) and electron paramagnetic resonance. Binding energy values are reported for the U4f core levels, showing that U2O5 is UO2. UO3 and U3O8 is UO2.2UO3. Valence band structures are discussed in relation with the formation of (UO2)2+ groups. Results from EPR spectroscopy support the view that no U(V) species are presented in these compounds. (Auth.)
