ENVG 60490 - Inorganic Geochemistry of Lanthanides and Actinides

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Environmental Geosciences

Description:

A comparative course in lanthanide-actinide inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on relevant questions associated with energy production and environmental contamination. The focus will be on the impact of the f-electron configuration on properties such as valence stabilities, redox behavior and optical and magnetic properties. The application of modern analytical techniques to these problems will be highlighted including synchrotron-based spectroscopies including XANES and EXAFS as well as scattering studies such as HEXS, SAXS, and reflectivity. The importance of complementary techniques including laser studies will also be included.
