Description
Summary:Lander discusses the two studies made by Dai et al and Wong et al, which provided important information on the basic elastic and thermodynamic properties of plutonium. The studies also showed that the dynamic mean field theory and the microbeam methods had opened up new studies on the actinides and other interesting materials. A further understanding of the properties of the element will help solve problems related to controversial nuclear properties.
