First-principles theory for cerium predicts three distinct face-centered cubic phases

Abstract We show results from first-principles calculations for cerium at very high compressions. These reveal a most remarkable behavior in a material; depending on atomic volume, cerium adopts three distinct face-centered cubic (fcc) phases driven by different physical mechanisms. The two well-kno...
