Abstract:
We discuss recent research on phase transitions in cerium under pressure, including new experiments on the $\gamma\to\alpha$ transition, which indicate that it is a hidden structural phase transition. We also discuss some models of relevance to the field, both theoretical and computational.
Keywords:
structural phase transitions, cerium, electronic structure, nuclear (TDPAC) spectroscopy.
