abstract：:Phase transitions in amorphous alloys under pressure are an important fundamental problem. Here we report on a first-principles study that reproduces the recently discovered pressure-induced crystallization of amorphous Ce100-xAlx (x<25) alloys and reveals an atomistic transformation mechanism. Contrary to common beli...
