Abstract

In this chapter, the properties of actinides in the metallic state will be reviewed with an emphasis on those properties which are unique or predominantly found in the metallic solid state. Such properties include magnetism, superconductivity, enhanced mass, spin and charge-density waves, as well as quantum critical points. An introduction to fundamental condensed matter principles is included to focus the discussion on the properties in the metallic state. Systematics of the actinide 5f electronic structure will be presented for elements, alloys, metallic, and semi-metallic compounds so as to elucidate the unique characteristics that arise from the properties of actinides and 5f electrons in a periodic potential.
