Which outcome occurs when high pressure reduces band overlap in cerium?

💡 Explanation

A Mott transition initiates localization because reduced band overlap minimizes electron delocalization, increasing Coulomb repulsion. Therefore electron localization occurs, rather than a smooth band change because high pressure strengthens Coulomb effects.
