摘要：

A modified embedded atom model of Pu has been developed. This simple atomic level model is able to reproduce the extreme anomalous behavior of this complex element. The calculated energetics and volume of the seven stable phases of Pu are found to be in close agreement with experiment. Calculated thermodynamic and elastic properties are also in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. The model also reproduces the unusual properties of the liquid phase, low melting point, and contraction upon melting. It is demonstrated that the anomalous properties of plutonium arise from the rapid spatial variation of the f-electron density.
