Samarium: from a distorted-fcc phase to melting under dynamic compression using in-situ x-ray diffraction

Abstract Lattice and electronic structure interactions for f-electrons are fundamental challenges for lanthanide equation of state development. Difficulties in first-principles calculations, such as density functional theory (DFT), emphasize the need for well-characterized experimental data. Here, w...
