Crystal structures of simple metals and binary alloy phases based on the close-packed hexagonal structure are analyzed within the model of Fermi sphere-Brillouin zone interactions to understand distortions and superlattices. Examination of…
Binary alloy phases of the noble metals with main group elements are analyzed in relation to body centered cubic structure with orthorhombic and hexagonal distortions. Stability of these distorted phases is considered on the base of the…
Formation of the complex structure with 16 atoms in the orthorhombic cell, space group Cmca (Pearson symbol oC16) was experimentally found under high pressure in the alkali elements (K, Rb, Cs) and polyvalent elements of groups IV (Si, Ge)…
Metal crystals with tetrahedral packing are known as Frank-Kasper phases with large unit cells with the number of atoms from hundreds to thousands. The main factors of the formation and stability of these phases are the atomic size ratio…
The discovery of quasicrystals phases and approximants in Al(rich)-Mn system has revived the interest for complex aluminides containing transition-metal atoms. On one hand, it is now accepted that the Hume-Rothery stabilization plays a…
The simple alkali metal Na, that crystallizes in a body-centred cubic structure at ambient pressure, exhibits a wealth of complex phases at extreme conditions as found by experimental studies. The analysis of the mechanism of stabilization…
Recent high-pressure x-ray diffraction studies of alkali metals revealed unusual complex structures that follow the body-centered and face-centered cubic structures on compression. The structural sequence of potassium under compression to 1…
This study deals with cubic crystals where the contents of the simple cubic unit cells are close to n$\times$n$\times$n-bcc sublattices ($n$ = 2: diamond- and zinc-blende type, $n$ = 3: $\gamma$-brasses). First-principle results on the…
An incommensurate modulated structure was found recently in a light group V element phosphorous in the phase P-IV stable in the pressure range 107-137 GPa. We consider configurations of the Brillouin zone and Fermi sphere within a…
Cohesion mechanism of cubic approximant crystals of newly discovered binary quasicrystals, Cd$_6$M (M=Yb and Ca), are studied theoretically. It is found that stabilization due to alloying is obtained if M is an element with low-lying…
We present a unifying theory for the observed complex structures of the sp-bonded elements under pressure based on nearly free electron picture (NFE). In the intermediate pressure regime the dominant contribution to crystal structure arises…
Lithium - the lightest alkali metal - exhibits unexpected structures and electronic behaviour at high pressures. As the heavier alkalis, Li is bcc at ambient pressure and transforms first to fcc (at 7.5 GPa). The post-fcc high-pressure form…
The origin of the monoclinic distortion and domain formation in the quasi two-dimensional layer compound NbTe$_2$ is investigated. Angle-resolved photoemission shows that the Fermi surface is pseudogapped over large portions of the…
In low dimensions, the combined effects of interactions and quantum fluctuations can lead to dramatically new physics distinct from that existing in higher dimensions. Here, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of…
The carbon monolayer band structure calculated in the approximation of weakly interacting {\pi} electrons corresponds to massless electron excitations known as Dirac fermions not previously observed in any other material. However, if strong…
A number of transition metal hydrides with close-packed metal sublattices of fcc or hcp structures with hydrogen in octahedral interstitial positions were obtained by the high-pressure hydrogen technique described by Ponyatovskii et al,…
The three-dimensional (3D) electronic structure of the hidden order compound URu$_2$Si$_2$ in a paramagnetic phase was revealed using a 3D angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy where the electronic structure of the entire Brillouin zone…
The multiband nature of iron-pnictide superconductors is one of the keys to the understanding of their intriguing behavior. The electronic and magnetic properties heavily rely on the multiband interactions between different electron and…
In the warm dense regime, where the electron temperature is increased to the same order of the Fermi temperature, the dynamical stability of elemental metals depends on its electronic band structure as well as its crystal structure. It has…
Electronic band structures in solids stem from a periodic potential reflecting the structure of either the crystal lattice or an electronic order. In the stoichiometric ruthenate Ca$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$, numerous Fermi surface sensitive probes…
