41. Summary part 2 Modern understanding (DMFT) of the (orbitally selective) Mott transition across the actinde series (B. Johanssen 1970 ) sheds light on 5f physics. Important role of multiplets. Pu is non magnetic and mixed valent element mixture of f 6 and f 5 f electrons are localized in Cm f 7 Physics of 5f’s and 4f’s is similar but different. Main difference, the coherence scale in 5f’s much larger, resulting in a much larger coupling to the lattice. K. Haule and J. Shim Ref: Nature 446, 513, (2007)
