Pressure dependence of the normalized unit cell volume, V(p)/V0, for α-uranium (Le Bihan et al., 2003), americium (Lindbaum et al., 2001), and curium (Heathman et al., 2005). The inset shows a typical diamond anvil cell used for angle-dispersive, high-pressure X-ray diffraction experiments. Adapted from Heathman et al. (2005). Reprinted with permission from AAAS. |
