Packing of ovaloïd atoms in actinide structures

Abstract
The atomistic mechanisms which result in the structures of eleven actinide elements are deduced from a parent bcc structure. The rich polymorphism and idiosyncratic structures found in uranium, neptunium and plutonium are interpreted in terms of close packings of ovaloïd atoms. The incommensurate structure found in α-U is discussed in this framework.
