Electronic Structure of the Americium Monopnictides - Ab Initio Calculations and Photoemission Experiments
The f electrons in the actinide elements are less localized than in the corresponding
lanthanide(4f) elements, yet there is a trend in increasing 5f localization with increase of atomic number. Americium, the element on the right-hand side of plutonium, "sits on the fence" of the 5f delocalization transition, i.e. the intriguing retraction of the 5f states from bonding which occurs between Pu and Am.
