Abstract

Applying the Green’s function based code FEFF to 5f derived features in actinide materials is potentially a very rewarding endeavor. However, there are some limitations that must be addressed. As part of the effort to quantify this process, FEFF has been applied to a few simplified 4f systems. The preliminary results of this investigation are discussed below.
