Analysis reveals a 5f occupation of n=5 in plutonium dioxide, suggesting a contradiction with previous findings.
An actinide N 4,5 branching ratio analysis of PuO 2 and UO 2 has been performed, including measurements with a scanning transmission electron microscope at the Advanced Light Source. It is shown that the 5f occupation of the Pu in plutonium dioxide is n = 5. This is contrary to recent results from another technique.
