Abstract
One of the salient features of the valence transition in Cerium is the disappearance of magnetism when the material transforms from the α to the γ state. The importance of the magnetic entropy in determining the nature of the γ-α transition may be easily inferred from the phase diagram and is dramatically evident in the specific heat at the critical point.
