Experimentally, Americium-I (Am-I) is a non-magnetic dhcp metal whereas theoretically an anti-ferromagnetic ground state is predicted. We show that hybrid density functional theory, which admixes a fraction of exact Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange with approximate DFT exchange, can correctly reproduce the ground state properties of Am. In particular, for a 0.40 fraction of HF exchange we obtain a non-magnetic ground state with equilibrium atomic volume, bulk modulus, 5f electron population, "},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"0910.3340","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
