Comments on 'Phonon and magnetic structure in δ-plutonium from density-functional theory' by P. Söderlind et al

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

In their recent paper [Söderlind, P. et al., Sci. Rep. 5, 15958 (2015)], Söderlind et al. discuss two subjects from a theoretical point of view: the phonon spectra and the possible magnetic structure of δ-plutonium (Pu). Here, we comment on the second subject. Söderlind et al. compare the Pu magnetic form factor F(Q) calculated via density functional theory (DFT) with measurements of F(Q) by neutron spectroscopy [Janoschek, M. et al., Sci. Adv. 1, e1500188 (2015)]. In particular, this comparison does not consider a number of experimental facts established in the neutron spectroscopy study.
