Stability and optical properties of plutonium monoxide from first-principle calculation

The resolution of questions about the existence of condensed plutonium monoxide (PuO) has long been hindered by lack of thermochemical data. Here we perform first-principles calculation to investigate the reaction Pu(2)O(3) + Pu → 3 PuO and find that PuO is thermodynamically unstable under ambient p...
