Abstract
The volume discontinuity of cesium at 45,000 kg/ is attributed to a shift of the valence electrons from the zone to the empty zones. A Wigner-Seitz calculation for the and bands supports this explanation. The potential used is described and tabulated. The possible existence of similar transitions for potassium and rubidium is discussed.
