The phase diagram of oxygen is investigated for pressures from 50 to 130~GPa and temperatures up 1200 K using first principles theory. A metallic molecular structure with the $P6_3/mmc$ symmetry ($\eta^{'}$ phase) is determined to be…
The structural, electronic, and spectroscopic properties of a high-pressure phase of methane hydrate (MH-III) are studied by first principles electronic structure calculations. A detailed analysis of the atomic positions suggests that {\it…
An exact analytical derivation is presented, showing that the Ising model on the Cayley tree exhibits a line of third order phase transition points, between temperatures $T_2=2k_B^{-1}J\ln ({\sqrt 2}+1) $ and $T_{BP}=k_B^{-1}J\ln (3)$, and…
Dielectric permittivity measurements show that (1-x)NaNbO3-(x)Gd1/3NbO3 crystals, at $x=0.09$, exhibit a first order phase transition near 150 C which is diffuse over a wide temperature interval. The area of the \epsilon(T) thermal…
Aqueous radiation chemistry emerges through ultrafast proton transfer and ion-radical formation with unexplored energy-redistribution dynamics steering the subsequent reactions. We performed time-resolved disruptive probing on pure water…
The complex impedance of a Pr0.67Ca0.33MnO3 crystal has been measured. The frequency dependence is studied for a wide range of temperatures (50K-403K) and is found to be characteristic of relaxation process with a single Debye time…
Ice Ih has been studied by path-integral molecular dynamics simulations, using the effective q-TIP4P/F potential model for flexible water. This has allowed us to analyze finite-temperature quantum effects in this solid phase from 25 to 300…
By using the direct coexistence method, we have calculated the melting points of ice Ih at normal pressure for three recently proposed water models, namely, TIP3P-FB, TIP4P-FB, and TIP4P-D. We obtained Tm = 216 K for TIP3P-FB, Tm = 242 K…
We theoretically study the stability conditions of the ferroelectric ice of the Cmc21 structure, which has been considered, for decades, one of the most promising candidates of the low temperature proton-ordered phase of pure ice Ih. It…
Density-functional theory calculations are performed to investigate hydrogen transport in the proton conductor BaSnO$_3$. Structural optimizations in the stable and saddle point configurations for transfer and reorientation allow…
Irradiation of isolated water molecules by few-cycle pulses of intense infrared laser light can give rise to ultrafast rearrangement resulting in formation of the H2+ ion. Such unimolecular reactions occur on the potential energy surface of…
Topological properties of crystalline ice structures are studied by considering ring statistics, coordination sequences, and topological density of different ice phases. The coordination sequences (number of sites at topological distance k…
Water exhibits rich polymorphism, where more than 20 crystalline phases have been experimentally reported. Five of them are metastable and form at low temperatures by either heating amorphous ice or degassing clathrate hydrates. However,…
Water is abundant in natural environments but the form it resides in planetary interiors remains uncertain. We report combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction and optical spectroscopy measurements of H2O in the laser-heated diamond anvil cell…
We discuss the nature of pressure induced phase transitions in standard Quantum Paraelectrics near quantum critical point. From a microscopic theory we first show that near the critical point the transition temperature $T_c(p)$ varies as $…
Bulk studies have revealed a first-order valence phase transition in Ba$_2$PrRu$_{1-x}$Ir$_x$O$_6$ ($0.10 \le x \le 0.25$), which is absent in the parent compounds with $x = 0$ (Pr$^{3+}$) and $x =1$ (Pr$^{4+}$), which exhibit…
The isotope effect in the melting temperature of ice Ih has been studied by free energy calculations within the path integral formulation of statistical mechanics. Free energy differences between isotopes are related to the dependence of…
Gas-phase complex organic molecules have been detected toward a range of high- and low-mass star-forming regions at abundances which cannot be explained by any known gas-phase chemistry. Recent laboratory experiments show that UV…
Most experimentally known high-pressure ice phases have a body-centred cubic (bcc) oxygen lattice. Our atomistic simulations show that, amongst these bcc ice phases, ices VII, VII' and X are the same thermodynamic phase under different…
Full pattern Le-Bail refinement using x-ray powder diffraction profiles of Sr1-xCaxTiO3 for x=0.02, 0.04 in the temperature range 12 to 300 K reveals anomalies in the unit cell parameters at 170, 225 K due to an antiferrodistortive (cubic…
