The Actinide and Rare Earth Sessions focus onthe chemistry, physics and materials science of f–electron materials. Emphasis will be placed upon the 4f/5felectronic and magnetic structure, surface science, thin film properties, and applications to energy–related issues.5

The role of fundamental f–electron science in resolving technical challenges posed by actinide materials will bestressed, particularly with regard to energy applications, including energy generation, novel nuclear fuels, andstructural materials. Both basic and applied experimental approaches, including synchrotron–radiation-based andneutron–based investigations, as well as theoretical modeling computational simulations, will be featured, with theaim of explaining the observed behavior in these complex materials. Of particular importance are the issuesimportant to nuclear energy and security, including fuel synthesis, oxidation, corrosion, intermixing, stability inextreme environments, prediction of properties via bench-marked simulations, separation science, and forensics.Specific sessions will be devoted to a continued, focused emphasis on the advances in the theory and measurementsof core-level spectroscopies for the study of actinides and rare earths. This Focus Topic will also address advancesin chemistry/materials sciences for environmental management and will promote the participation of early careerscientists.AC1 LS MI: Magnetism, Electron Correlation, and Superconductivity in the Actinides and Rare EarthsNicholas Butch, NIST/UMD, "Novel Spin-Triplet Superconductivity in Uranium Ditelluride"Vitalij Pecharsky, Iowa State University, "The Quest for the Holy Grail, or How Does One Control the Structure andMagnetism of Complex Rare Earth Materials?"AC2 AS: Chemistry and Physics of the Actinides and Rare EarthsTori Forbes, University of Iowa, "Overcoming Challenges in the Interpretation of Actinyl Vibrational Bands WithinSolids and on Polymer Surfaces"Roland Schulze, Los Alamos National Lab, “Thermodynamics of Small Molecule Reactions at Uranium Surfaces”Jenifer Shafer, Colorado School of Mines, “Sulfur Containing Ligands for Actinide Separations: How Do They Work?”AC3 AS LS: ForensicsMichael Kristo, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, "Nuclear Forensics 2020: A Strategic Inflection Point?"Jesse Ward, Pacific Northwest National Lab, "Tracking Uranium Speciation by Synchrotron Spectromicrosopy"AC4 LS MI: Actinide and Rare Earth TheoryEnrique Batista, Los Alamos National Laboratory, “Surface Properties of Actinide Dioxides; Crystal Growth andCatalysis”David Dixon, University of Alabama, "Extending Our Understanding of f-Element Oxidation States UsingComputational Chemistry"Lindsay Roy, SRNL, "The PreCalc Project: Multiscale Framework for Predicting Morphology of Plutonium OxideParticles"AC5 LS: New Experimental ApproachesLucia Amidani, HCDR, France, “New Experimental Approaches”Gerald Seidler, University of Washington, "Lanthanide and Actinide XAS in the Lab: How does it Work, and HowDoes It Complement Synchrotron Beamlines?"Dimosthenis Sokaras, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, “High-Energy-Resolution X-Ray Spectroscopy andActinides Research ta SLAC”AC6 LS: Early Career ScientistsMukesh Bachhav, Idaho National Laboratory, “Chemical and Microstructural Analysis of Nuclear Fuels at NanoLength Scale Using Atom Probe Tomography”Yusen Qiao, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, "Understanding the 4f Covalency of LanthanideTris(cyclopentadienyl) Complexes by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy, Magnetism, and Theory"Jennifer Shusterman, Hunter College, "Aqueous Isotope Harvesting for Production of Target Material for CrossSection Measurements"AC7: Actinides and Rare Earths Poster SessionADVANCED ION MICROSCOPY AND ION BEAM NANO-ENGINEERING FOCUS TOPIC (HI)The Advanced Ion Microscopy & Ion Beam Nano-Engineering focus topic targets research in focused ion beamtechnology and applications, with emphasis on applying novel ion beam technologies - to deliver unique solutions inmicroscopy, nano-fabrication, metrology, materials engineering, and other analytical techniques.
