The simple-cubic structure of elemental Polonium and its relation to combined charge and orbital order in other elemental chalcogens

SciPost Physics, 2018
Polonium is the only element to crystallise into a simple cubic structure at ambient conditions. Moreover, at high temperatures it undergoes a structural phase transition into a less symmetric trigonal configuration.
