Abstract
The actinides comprise a 15-member group of metallic radioactive elements occupying the bottom row of the periodic table. Electron localization accompanied by the formation of large magnetic moments due to the strong Coulomb repulsion is balanced by hybridization with neighboring-atom electronic states. This hybridization promotes an opposite tendency toward itinerancy and the emergence of complex behavior. This review shows how x-ray synchrotron radiation techniques provide a variety of powerful tools to unravel the complexity of actinide materials. Experimental techniques, theoretical background, and applications to actinide materials are covered in detail.
