Assessing Relativistic Effects and Electron Correlation in the Actinide Metals Th to Pu

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to explore and assess the effects of the relativistic spin−orbit interaction and electron correlations in the actinide elements. Specifically, we address electron correlations in terms of an intra-atomic Coulomb interaction with a H...
