Abstract
AbstractResonant differential Friedel summands for uranium monopnictides and monochalcogenides are calculated using a fully relativistic single‐site scattering model. It is found that relativistic effects are important in discussing the electronic structure of these compounds, especially for those with heavy non‐metal atoms. The bonding between the uranium and non‐metal constituents is predicted to have considerable covalent character, which increases with atomic number and is particularly important for the heavier group Vb elements. The calculations indicate that the uranium f‐electrons form a narrow well‐localized band.
