The compression behavior of zircon-type samarium orthovanadate, SmVO4, has been investigated using synchrotron-based powder x-ray diffraction and ab-initio calculations up to 21 GPa. The results indicate the instability of ambient zircon…

We have performed experimental and theoretical studies of the structural stability of YAsO4 and YCrO4 at high pressures. X-ray diffraction experiments together with ab initio total-energy and lattice-dynamics calculations have allowed us to…

Possible variations in the dynamical behaviour of LiYF$_{4}$ due to its several structural changes under pressure are examined by making use of the complementary techniques of quasi-harmonic lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics…

The tin sulfides represent a materials platform for earth-abundant semiconductor technologies. We present a first-principles study of the five known and proposed phases of SnS together with SnS2 and Sn2S3. Lattice-dynamics techniques are…

We have investigated the effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on phase stability of hydro-nitrogen solids using dispersion corrected Density Functional Theory calculations. From our total energy calculations, Ammonium Azide (AA)…

Room temperature angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction measurements on zircon-type EuVO4, LuVO4, and ScVO4 were performed up to 27 GPa. In the three compounds we found evidence of a pressure-induced structural phase transformation from zircon…

We report here the combined results of angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments performed on ThGeO4 up to 40 GPa and total-energy density-functional theory calculations. Zircon-type ThGeO4 is found to undergo a pressure-driven phase…

The phase purity and the lattice dynamics in bulk EuTiO3 were investigated both microscopically, using X-ray and neutron diffraction, 151-Eu-M\"ossbauer spectroscopy, and 151-Eu nuclear inelastic scattering, and macroscopically using…

An investigation of the pressure induced phase transition from the scheelite phase (I41/a, Z=4) to the fergusonite-like phase (I2/a, Z=4)/LaTaO(P21/c, Z=4) of LiYF4 is presented. Employing density functional theory (DFT) within the…

Zircon-type HoPO4 and TmPO4 have been studied by single-crystal x-ray diffraction and ab initio calculations. We report information on the influence of pressure on the crystal structure, and on the elastic and thermodynamic properties. The…

Possible variations in the dynamical behaviour of LiYF$_{4}$ due to its structural changes following several pressure-induced phase transitions are examined by making use of the complementary techniques of quasi-harmonic lattice dynamics…

The stability and electronic structure of competing silicene phases under in-plane compressive stress, either free-standing or on the ZrB$_2$(0001) surface, has been studied by first-principles calculations. A particular…

Room-temperature Raman scattering has been measured in barium tungstate (BaWO4) up to 16 GPa. We report the pressure dependence of all the Raman-active first-order phonons of the tetragonal scheelite phase (BaWO4-I, space group I41/a),…

Room temperature angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction measurements on zircon-type YPO4 and ErPO4, and monazite-type GdPO4, EuPO4, NdPO4, and LaPO4 were performed in a diamond-anvil cell up to 27 GPa using neon as pressure-transmitting medium.…

Germanates are often used as structural analogs of planetary silicates. We have explored the high-pressure phase relations in Mg$_2$GeO$_4$ using diamond anvil cell experiments combined with synchrotron x-ray diffraction and computations…

Under pressure cesium undergoes a transition from a high-pressure fcc phase (Cs-II) to a collapsed fcc phase (Cs-III) near 4.2GPa. At 4.4GPa there follows a transition to the tetragonal Cs-IV phase. In order to investigate the lattice…

Phase stabilities of Hf-Si-O and Zr-Si-O have been studied with first-principles and thermodynamic modeling. From the obtained thermodynamic descriptions, phase diagrams pertinent to thin film processing were calculated. We found that the…

Using inelastic x-ray scattering we have investigated lattice vibrations in a geometric frustrated system CdCr2O4 that upon cooling undergoes a spin-Peierls phase transition at TN = 7.8 K from a cubic and paramagnetic to a tetragonal and…

Lithium transition metal phospho-olivines are useful electrode materials, owing to their stability, high safety, low cost and cyclability. We report phonon studies using neutron inelastic scattering experiments, ab-initio density functional…
