Advanced spectroscopy in f-element chemistry

Department head: Prof. Dr. Tonya Vitova
+49 721 608 24024 |
The department systematically investigates the electronic and coordination structures of actinide (An) and chemical homologue lanthanide (Ln) systems with novel synchrotron-based high energy resolution X-ray emission/absorption/inelastic scattering techniques. The experimental results are supported by theoretical calculations and simulations with quantum chemical codes. These investigations improve our understanding of An/Ln reactivity in repository systems and waste matrices on a molecular scale and thereby contribute to the assessment of the repository long term safety. The elucidation of electronic and coordination structures of An/Ln systems provides basic insight into structure-reactivity relationships of actinide and lanthanide elements, which is still a challenging scientific frontier. We also work on topics related to radiopharmaceutical research and the applications of high-energy-resolution and high-efficiency metal magnetic calorimeter (MMC) detectors.
