摘要
Density-functional theory previously used to describe phase equilibria in the gamma-Pu-U-Zr alloys [A. Landa, P. Soderlind, PEA. Turchi, L. Vitos, A. Ruban, J. Nucl. Mater. 385 (2009) 68; A. Landa, P. Soderlind, PEA. Turchi, L. Vitos, A. Ruban, J. Nucl. Mater. 393 (2009) 141], is extended to study ground-state properties of the gamma-Pu-Np, gamma-Pu-Am, and gamma-Pu-Cm solid solutions. Calculated heats of formation are compared with CALPHAD assessments where possible. We discuss how the heat of formation correlates with the charge transfer between the alloy components.
