Abstract: A method for preparing close to 100% β cerium is reported. The method involves repeated steps of thermal cycling cerium samples between room temperature and liquid helium temperature followed by annealing for long periods at 75 °C. The preparation of single phase α cerium by using a pressure-cooling-depressurizing cycle is described.
