摘要:

铈的α-γ相变的特征在于通过多体Jastrow相关的波函数,它最小化的第一原理标量相对论哈密顿量的变分能量,并包括在一个非微扰的方式的关联效应。我们的变分分析准确地再现了这两个阶段的结构特性,并证明,即使在温度$T=0$ K的系统进行了一级转变,与从头算参数无缝连接到有限的$T$通过实验测量的。我们表明,过渡是一个复杂的电子结构的重排,发挥关键作用的p-f杂化。这项工作揭示的潜在机制可以在许多含铈化合物中,更普遍地在其他f-电子系统中。

英文摘要:

The cerium alpha-gamma phase transition is characterized by means of a many-body Jastrow-correlated wave function, which minimizes the variational energy of the first-principles scalar-relativistic Hamiltonian, and includes correlation effects in a non-perturbative way. Our variational ansatz accurately reproduces the structural properties of the two phases, and proves that even at temperature $T=0$K the system undergoes a first order transition, with ab initio parameters which are seamlessly connected to the ones measured by experiment at finite $T$. We show that the transition is related to a complex rearrangement of the electronic structure, with key role played by the p-f hybridization. The underlying mechanism unveiled by this work can hold in many Ce-bearing compounds, and more generally in other f-electron systems.
