Retraction Note: Computational insights into spin-polarized density functional theory applied to actinide-based perovskites XBkO₃ (X = Sr, Ra, Pb)

Year: 2026

Type: retraction

Abstract: After publication concerns were raised about the results. Specifically, the applications claimed by the Authors are scientifically not plausible given the highly unstable and radioactive nature of the compounds. An independent expert review confirmed the concerns. In addition, the Editors noticed significant textual and methodological overlap with previously published articles by some of the same Authors 1 , 2 , 3 . Upon request about the contributions of all Authors, the Editors were unable to verify the authorship of this Article.
