Effect of temperature and radiation damage on the local atomic structure of metallic plutonium and related compounds

This focused review provides an overview and a framework for understanding local structure in metallic plutonium (especially the metastable fcc $ \delta $-phase alloyed with Ga) as it relates to self-irradiation damage. Of particular concern is the challenge of understanding self-irradiation damage...
