Using first-principles only, we calculate the melting point of MgO, also called periclase or magnesia. The random phase approximation (RPA) is used to include the exact exchange as well as local and non-local many-body correlation terms, in…

MgO is an abundant mineral in the rocky mantle of terrestrial planets, but its melting behaviors remain enigmatic. Here we introduce a simple theoretical model to investigate the B1-liquid transition of MgO up to 370 GPa. Vibrational free…

The melting curve for MgO was obtained using molecular dynamics and a non-empirical, many-body potential. We also studied premelting effects by computing the dynamical structure factor in the crystal on approach to melting. The melting…

First principles calculations based on density functional theory, both with the local density approximation (LDA) and with generalised gradient corrections (GGA), and the projector augmented wave method, have been used to simulate solid and…

The free energies of vacancy pair formation and migration in MgO were computed via molecular dynamics using free-energy integrations and a non-empirical ionic model with no adjustable parameters. The intrinsic diffusion constant for MgO was…

Pressure-melting temperature relationship is proposed and tested against the experiments of metals (Pt and Al), salt (NaCl), and ceramic (MgO) with positive results. The equation contains one open parameter which remains constant for the…

First-principles simulations have played a crucial role in deepening our understanding of the thermodynamic properties of water, and machine learning potentials (MLPs) trained on these first-principles data widen the range of accessible…

Several research groups have recently reported {\em ab initio} calculations of the melting properties of metals based on density functional theory, but there have been unexpectedly large disagreements between results obtained by different…

We demonstrate that the melting points and other thermodynamic quantities of the alkali metals can be calculated based on static crystalline properties. To do this we derive analytic interatomic potentials for the alkali metals fitted…

In this study, an efficient first-principles approach for calculating the thermodynamic properties of mixed metal oxides at high temperatures is demonstrated. More precisely, this procedure combines density functional theory and harmonic…

A new simulated tempering method, which is referred to as simulated tempering umbrella sampling, for calculating the free energy of chemical reactions is proposed. First principles molecular dynamics simulations with this simulated…

The first non-empirical computation of lattice thermal conductivity has been performed for MgO using molecular dynamics (MD), a non-empirical ionic model (the Variationally Induced Breathing (VIB) model), and Green-Kubo theory. The…

In the framework of melting as a dislocation-mediated phase transition we derive an equation for the pressure dependence of the melting temperatures of the elements valid up to pressures of order their ambient bulk moduli. Melting curves…

Based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we determined the melting curve of magnesium (Mg) up to ~460 GPa using the solid-liquid coexistence method. Between ~30 and 100 GPa, our melting curve is noticeably lower than those from…

We study the pressure dependence of the melting mechanism of a surface free Lennard-Jones crystal by constant pressure Monte Carlo simulation. The difference between the overheating temperature($T_{OH}$) and the thermodynamical melting…

We demonstrate the feasibility of performing sufficient configurational sampling of disordered oxides directly from first principles without resorting to the use of fitted models such as cluster expansion. This is achieved by harnessing the…

Using two first-principles computer simulation techniques, path integral Monte-Carlo and density functional theory molecular dynamics, we derive the equation of state of magnesium in the regime of warm dense matter, with densities ranging…
