Anomalous thermal expansion and melting properties of an archetypalf-electron correlated system: Ce.

With increasing temperature (T), a rare-earth element, cerium (Ce), exhibits intricate structural phase transitions from fcc-αto dhcp-β, fcc-γ, and bcc-δphases before reaching the liquid phase. Interestingly, Ce exhibits abnormal thermal-expansion be…
