  Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) with the geometrical anisotropy and
strong electron-phonon coupling are in full swing and have shown their great
potential for applications in nanodevices. I selected representative three
elements in actinide group with valence electron arrangement: Thorium (Th)
([Rn]6d27s2), Uranium (U) ([Rn]5f36d17s2), Plutonium (Pu) ([Rn]5f67s2). I
calculated their phonon spectra and demonstrated the atomic-scale
microstructure identification of actinide graphite intercalation compounds by
angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy.
