Description
Cerium dialuminide was investigated using high pressure powder x-ray diffraction technique up to 23 GPa. An anomaly was observed in the compressibility behaviour between 2-6 GPa. The result contradicts earlier reports of a volume discontinuity. Band structure calculations show about a 20% drop in the total density of states in the region of anomaly and the band dispersion curves indicate a Lifshitz transition. (author)
