Gender inequality represents one of the major problems that affect the academic world and scientific progress. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes discourage women away from science-related fields, especially engineering. Engineering as a whole is a historically, and currently, male dominated research field and ensuring that female voices and research receive equal - and indeed greater - visibility, attention, and respect is of vital importance. Scientific progress is only possible and greatly accelerated if we have gender equality. More women involved in a scientific field results in an expansion of the general knowledge in that field. Today, while a gender equal society might be seen as both beneficial and desirable, it is becoming extremely important to show, especially to younger generations, the growing impact of female researchers in science.
This is the first book to cover actinide nano research. It is of interest both for fundamental research into the chemistry and physics of f-block elements as well as for applied researchers such as those studying the long-term safety of nuclear waste disposal and developing remediation strategies. The authors cover important issues of the formation of actinide nano-particles, their properties and structure, environmental behavior of colloids and nanoparticles related to the safe disposal of nuclear wastes, modeling and advanced methods of characterization at the nano-scale.
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Ausarbeitung eines Synthesekonzepts zur Darstellung von Nanopartikel unedler Übergangsmetalle sowie Seltenerdmetalle in Flüssigphase am Beispiel von Vanadium, Chrom, Mangan, Terbium und Thulium. Im Anschluss daran liegt das Augenmerk auf der Erkundung des chemischen Verhaltens der dargestellten Nanopartikel durch deren Verwendung in beispielhaften Reaktionen. Für Übergangsmetall-Nanopartikel und Seltenerdmetall-Nanopartikel ist mit abweichenden Reaktivitäten zu rechnen, was in unterschiedlichen Standardpotentialen und der charakteristischen Oxophilie der Metalle begründet liegt. Über die Reaktionen wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit untersucht, ob Metall- Nanopartikel geeignete Ausgangssubstanzen zur Synthese neuer Verbindungen in Flüssigphase nahe Raumtemperatur (T < 100 °C) an der Grenze von homogenen und heterogenen Reaktionsbedingungen darstellen.
