We present a systematical method for obtaining analytical long-range embedded-atom potentials based on the lattice-inversion method. The potentials converge faster (exponentially) than Sutton and Chen's power-law potentials (Philos. Mag.…
The experimental determination of eutectic points is a long-established and widely used technique, but it is generally only practical for systems with relatively low melting points. Many modern, promising materials, however, are…
In this manuscript we study the liquid-solid coexistence of NaCl-type alkali halides, described by interaction potentials such as Tosi-Fumi (TF), Smith-Dang (SD) and Joung-Cheatham (JC), and compute their melting temperature (Tm) at 1 bar…

The pseudoelastic and pseudoplastic properties of NiTi alloys result from the closeness of the structures between the B2 cubic austenite and the B19' monoclinic martensite, and the facility to transform one into each other. Until now, the…
We have identified the ground state configurations of soft particles (interacting via inverse power potentials) confined between two hard, impenetrable walls. To this end we have used a highly reliable optimization scheme at {\it vanishing}…

Single crystals of Mg1-xAlxB2 have been grown at a pressure of 30 kbar using the cubic anvil technique. Precipitation free crystals with x < 0.1 were obtained as a result of optimization of already developed MgB2 crystal growth procedure.…
Inverse melting is the phenomenon, observed in both Helium isotopes, by which a crystal melts when cooled at constant pressure. I investigate discrete-space analogs of inverse melting by means of two instances of a triangular-lattice-gas…
Most lattice studies of hot and dense QCD matter rely on extrapolation from zero or imaginary chemical potentials. The ill-posedness of numerical analytic continuation puts severe limitations on the reliability of such methods. We studied…
