Abstract:
The development of synthetic methodology for the production of targeted actinide metal materials is critical to the safe and efficient production of potentially important materials such as proliferation-resistant borides, carbides, nitrides, and other complex main-group and intermetallic materials. The exciting materials science surrounding the actinides, especially plutonium, will be presented and the weird behavior of metals like plutonium and neptunium will be explored.
Biography:
Peter Dorhout received his B. S. in chemistry from the University of Illinois in 1985 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin in 1989. He also worked as a graduate student at Los Alamos National Laboratory in actinide materials chemistry. He continued his studies in f-element chemistry with Prof. John Corbett at Iowa State University and Ames Laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow until 1991. |
