A combination of state-of-the-art theoretical methods has been used to obtain an atomic-level picture of classical and quantum ordering of protons in cold high-pressure solid hydro-gen. We focus mostly on phases II and III of hydrogen,…
Thermoelectric (Bi1-x Sbx)2Te3 (BST-x) compounds with x=0.2, 0.7 and 0.9 have been studied using synchrotron angle-dispersive powder x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell up to 25 GPa (at room temperature). The results clearly indicate…
Polycrystalline samples of underdoped (Ba1-xKx)Fe2As2 (x<=0.4) were synthesized and studied by x-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and 57Fe-Moessbauer-spectroscopy. The structural phase transition from…
Due to a large discrepancy between theory and experiment, the electronic character of crystalline boron carbide B$_{13}$C$_{2}$ has been a controversial topic in the field of icosahedral boron-rich solids. We demonstrate that this…
Boron phosphide (BP) is a (super)hard semiconductor constituted of light elements, which is promising for high demand applications at extreme conditions. The behavior of BP at high temperatures and pressures is of special interest but is…
Recent discoveries of supposedly pure alpha-tetragonal boron require to revisit its structure. The system is also interesting with respect to a new type of geometrical frustration in elemental crystals, which was found in beta-rhombohedral…
At ambient pressure CaFe2As2 has been found to undergo a first order phase transition from a high temperature, tetragonal phase to a low temperature orthorhombic / antiferromagnetic phase upon cooling through T ~ 170 K. With the application…
A systematic Raman study in the visible carried out on the YBa2Cu316,18Ox (x=6-7) compounds, with isotopic substitution of 18O for 16O, has detected a doping dependent deviation from harmonic behavior for the frequency shift of the in-phase…
In this paper, we report dynamic Monte Carlo simulation results on the crystallization of crystalline/crystalline (A/B) symmetric binary polymer blend, wherein the melting temperature of A-polymer is higher than B-polymer. Crystallization…
The structural properties of Thallium (III) oxide (Tl2O3) have been studied both experimentally and theoretically under compression at room temperature. X-ray powder diffraction measurements up to 37.7 GPa have been complemented with ab…
The symmetric studies on the structure-property relationship of the unpoled and poled states of 0.67BiFeO3-0.33BaTiO3 (0.67BF-0.33BT) were conducted to understand the origin of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in BF-BT. A typical…
The structures, stability, mechanical and electronic properties of a-boron and its twined brother a*-boron have been studied by first-principles calculations. Both a-boron and a*-boron consist of equivalent icosahedra B12 clusters in…
We use ab initio calculations to examine thermodynamic factors that could promote the formation of recently proposed unique oP10-FeB4 and oP12-FeB2 compounds. We demonstrate that these compact boron-rich phases are stabilized further under…
Two boron-rich chalcogenides B12S and B12Se isostructural to {\alpha}-rhombohedral boron were synthesized by chemical reaction of the elements at high-pressure - high-temperature conditions. The crystal structures and stoichiometries of…
Polymorphism is ubiquitous in crystalline solids. Amorphous solids, such as glassy water and silicon, may undergo amorphous-to-amorphous transitions (AATs). The nature of AATs remains ambiguous, due to diverse system-dependent behaviors and…
Melting of boron subphosphide (B12P2) to 26 GPa has been studied by in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell, and by quenching and electrical resistance measurements in a toroid-type high-pressure…
Amorphous carbon (a-C) formed under energetic atom deposition and by cooling of a melt by MD simulations in a wide $P,T$-range is investigated. Simulations of a-C formation with atomic beam deposition reveal a sharp GLC-to-DLC transition…
We investigate the high-pressure phase transitions in BiFeO3 by single crystal and powder x-ray diffraction, as well as single crystal Raman spectroscopy. Six phase transitions are reported in the 0-60 GPa range. At low pressures, up to 15…
X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments have been carried out on quartz-like GaPO4 at high pressure and room temperature. A transition to a high pressure disordered crystalline form occurs at 13.5 GPa. Slight heating using a YAG infrared laser…
A multitude of observed boron-based materials have outstanding superconducting, mechanical, and refractory properties. Yet, the structure, the composition, and the very existence of some reported metal boride (M-B) compounds have been a…
