Atomistic Modeling of the Negative Thermal Expansion in δ-Plutonium Based on the Two-State Description

The δ phase of plutonium with the fcc structure exhibits an unusual negative thermal expansion (NTE) over its narrow temperature range of stability, 593–736 K. An accurate description of the anomalous high-temperature volume effect of plutonium goes beyond the current capability of electronic-struct...
