Production and properties of the heaviest elements Status and perspectives

摘要: This article reviews the following topics which were discussed at 375th Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Seminar Workshop on Atomic Properties of Heaviest Elements held from September 25–27, 2006 Abtei Frauenworth im Chiemsee, Germany: (i) recent progress in production heaviest elements, investigation their nuclear structure, prospects for direct mass measurements Penning traps. (ii) Recent studies chemical properties with aid volatile species single-atom aqueous-phase chemistry; (iii) current status future atomic ionic such as optical spectroscopy gas cells ion traps, including fully relativistic calculations level structure predictions element nobelium; (iv) charge radii buffer filled drift cells, reactions phase.
