Abstract
Despite the significant impact of radiation-induced redox reactions on the accessibility and lifetimes of actinide oxidation states, fundamental knowledge of aqueous actinide metal ion radiation chemistry is limited, especially for the late actinides. A quantitative understanding of these intrinsic radiation-induced processes is essential for investigating the fundamental properties of these actinides. We present here a picosecond electron pulse reaction kinetics study into the radiation-induced redox chemistry of trivalent berkelium (Bk(III)) and californium (Cf(III)) ions in acidic aqueous solutions at ambient temperature. New and first-of-a-kind, second-order rate coefficients are reported for the transient radical-induced reduction of Bk(III) and Cf(III) by the hydrated electron (eaq-) and hydrogen atom (H•), demonstrating a significant reactivity (up to 1011 M-1 s-1) indicative of a preference of these metals to adopt divalent states. Additionally, we report the first-ever second-order rate coefficients for the transient radical-induced oxidation of these elements by a reaction with hydroxyl (•OH) and nitrate (NO3•) radicals, which also exhibited fast reactivity (ca. 108 M-1 s-1). Transient Cf(II), Cf(IV), and Bk(IV) absorption spectra are also reported. Overall, the presented data highlight the existence of rich, complex, intrinsic late actinide radiation-induced redox chemistry that has the potential to influence the findings of other areas of actinide science.

Abstract
The sulfidation of materials upon exposure to the atmosphere has traditionally been attributed entirely to reactions with sulfur-containing gases and water vapor. New laboratory results demonstrate that the sulfidation of polycrystalline copper can be markedly enhanced both by solar radiation and by the ubiquitous atmospheric ozone, thus indicating that the high rates of corrosion in urban areas are a result of a complex sequence of multicomponent photochemical processes.
