52nd Journées des Actinides (JdA) and 14th School on the Physics and Chemistry of the Actinides (SPCA)
April 17-21, 2023
The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids is pleased to host the 14th School on the Physics and Chemistry of the Actinides (SPCA, 17 – 19 April 2023) and the 52nd Journées des Actinides international conference (JdA, 19 – 21 April 2023).
This event series provides an informal and interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of current advances on the physical and chemical properties of lanthanide- and actinide-based alloys and compounds. The conference has a broad scope, spanning topics from fundamental to applied research:
- strongly correlated systems, superconductivity, quantum criticality
- inorganic and organometallic chemistry
- materials and nanomaterials
- theory and band structure
- actinide production and handling
- safety of the nuclear fuel cycle
- nuclear safeguards and security
- radiation protection
- environment contamination, remediation, and decommissioning
