Abstract
We explain the anomaly in the lattice constants of the series Ce-Ce quantitatively in terms of hybridization rather than a valence change. Ce is calculated to be magnetic and is the first Ce compound for which self-consistent energy-band calculations yield the correct total moment (/formula unit) including a contribution of from the electrons. The calculated magnetization density and spin-resolved density of states, which are unique to itinerant-electron theory, may be verified in detail by magnetic form-factor and spin-polarized photoemission measurements.
