We study the electronic and lattice dynamical properties of compressed solid germane in the pressure range up to 200 GPa with density functional theory. A stable metallic structure, Aba2, with a base-centered orthorhombic symmetry was found…
Mg$_2$IrH$_6$ is a metastable complex metal hydride with a predicted superconducting transition temperature as high as 170 K at ambient pressure. Following the synthesis of isomorphic, insulating Mg$_2$IrH$_5$ at low pressure,…
Recently for the first time a stable compound of He and Na (Na2He) is predicted at high pressure. We explore the pressure dependent elastic, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of this newly discovered Na2He by using ab initio…
Li$_2$AuH$_6$ and Li$_2$AgH$_6$ have been proposed as promising candidates for high-temperature superconductors under ambient pressure. While previous studies confirm the dynamic stability of these two thermodynamically unstable systems,…
We present a comprehensive first--principles study of the structural stability and superconducting behavior of Li$_2$PdH$_2$ under high pressure. Using random structure searching and phonon calculations, we identify a pressure--induced…
The temperature-induced orthorhombic to cubic phase transition in Li2C2 is a prototypical example of a solid to solid phase transformation between an ordered phase, which is well described within the phonon theory, and a dynamically…
In the search for MgB2-like phonon-mediated superconductors we have carried out a systematic density functional theory study of the Ca-B system, isoelectronic to Mg-B, at ambient and gigapascal pressures. A remarkable variety of candidate…
Conventional molecular dynamics simulation has been used to determine melting temperature of highly compressed classical molecular hydrogen in a wide range of pressures and temperatures using non-empirical atom-atom potentials…
Molecular clouds typically consist of 3/4 H2, 1/4 He and traces of heavier elements. In an earlier work we showed that at very low temperatures and high densities, H2 can be in a phase transition leading to the formation of ice clumps as…
The temperature ($T$) as a function of pressure ($P$) phase diagram is reported for the cubic Laves phase compound Au$_2$Pb, which was recently proposed to support linearly dispersing "topological" bands, together with conventional…
Experimental results that BaIn2As2 and Ca(Sr)In2As2, which are the same class of alkali metal compounds, belong to different structural phases have puzzled the current materials physics community. Here, we investigate the pressure-induced…
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)…
Zr-based AB2-Laves phase type alloys containing the same type of A and B metals, have been prepared from pure elements by melting and subsequent re-melting under argon atmosphere by using a HF-induction levitation furnace. Characterization…
High-pressure electrical resistivity measurements reveal that the mechanical deformation of ultra-hard WB2 during compression induces superconductivity above 50 GPa with a maximum superconducting critical temperature, Tc of 17 K at 90 GPa.…
Based on density functional calculations, we propose that ZrMn_2 is a polymorphic material. We predict that at low temperatures the cubic C15, and the hexagonal C14 and C36 structures of the Laves phase compound ZrMn_2 are nearly equally…
High pressure and high temperature properties of AB (A = $^6$Li, $^7$Li; B = H, D, T) are investigated with first-principles method comprehensively. It is found that the H$^{-}$ sublattice features in the low-pressure electronic structure…
A new type of heavy transition metal carbide (TMC), Ru2C with a space group of p3 - m1(164) was synthesized experimentally at high pressurehigh temperature [J Phys. Condens. Matter. 2012 Sep 12; 24(36): 362202.] and it was consequently…
With the motivation of searching for new superconductors in the Mg-B system, we performed ab initio evolutionary searches for all the stable compounds in this binary system in the pressure range of 0-200 GPa. We found previously unknown,…
