Ab Initio Study of the Effect of Mono-Vacancies on the Metastability of Ga-Stabilized δ-Pu
Most experimental studies on metallic Pu are on the room temperature monoclinic α-phase or the fcc Ga stabilized δ-phase. Stabilized δ-phase Pu-Ga alloys are metastable and exhibit a martensitic phase transformation to α’-phase at low temperatures, or applied shear, with concentrations lower than th...
