AbstractThe around-the-mean-field version of the LDA+U correlated band theory is applied to investigate the electronic and magnetic structure of δ-Pu, Am, their alloys and compounds. It gives correct non-magnetic ground state for Pu and Am, and provides a good agreement with experimental equilibrium volumes and bulk moduli. For Pu-Am alloys, despite a lattice expansion caused by the Am atoms, neither tendency to 5f localization nor formation of local
