We use first principles molecular dynamics simulations coupled to the thermodynamic integration method to study the hcp-bcc transition and melting of beryllium up to a pressure of 1600~GPa. We derive the melting line by equating solid and…

We use first-principles techniques to re-examine the suggestion that transitions seen in high-P experiments on Mo are solid-solid transitions from the bcc structure to either the fcc or hcp structures. We confirm that in the harmonic…

First-principles calculations are performed for electronic structures of two high pressure phases of solid selenium, $\beta$-Po and bcc. Our calculation reproduces well the pressure-induced phase transition from $\beta$-Po to bcc observed…

We present a systematic ab initio study of the temperature and pressure dependent thermoelastic properties of hcp beryllium within the quasi-harmonic approximation (QHA). The accuracy of the Zero Static Internal Stress Approximation (ZSISA)…

We present theoretical results on the high-temperature phase stability and phonon spectra of paramagnetic bcc iron which explicitly take into account many-body effects. Several peculiarities, including a pronounced softening of the [110]…

Using first-principles variable-composition evolutionary methodology, we explored the high-pressure structures of beryllium hydrides between 0 and 400 GPa. We found that BeH$_2$ remains the only stable compound in this pressure range. The…

There has been a major controversy over the past seven years about the high-pressure melting curves of transition metals. Static compression (diamond-anvil cell: DAC) experiments up to the Mbar region give very low melting slopes dT_m/dP,…

Precise fitting of the experimental data analyzed separately for each identified crystallographic phase alpha, omega, beta, beta prime and beta double prime yield different bulk moduli Bo and Bo prime and different zero pressure volumes…

Structural stability of paramagnetic (PM) body-centered cubic (bcc) Fe under pressure is investigated based on first-principles phonon calculations. Spin configurations of the PM phase are approximated using a binary special quasi-random…

A previously unknown thermodynamically stable high-pressure phase of BeF$_{2}$ has been predicted using the evolutionary algorithm USPEX. This phase occurs in the pressure range 18-27 GPa. Its structure has $C2/c$ space group symmetry and…

Phonon densities of states (DOS) of bcc $\alpha$-$^{57}$Fe were measured from room temperature through the 1044K Curie transition and the 1185K fcc $\gamma$-Fe phase transition using nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. At higher…

There has been a long debate on the stable phase of iron under the Earth's inner core conditions. Because of the solid-liquid coexistence at the inner core boundary, the thermodynamic stability of solid phases directly relates to their…

By adopting a $T$-matrix based method within $G_0G$ approximation for the pair susceptibility, we studied the effects of pairing fluctuation on the BCS-BEC crossover in symmetric nuclear matter. The pairing fluctuation induces a pseudogap…

The dispersion in the entire Brillouin zone and the temperature dependence (right up to the melting temperature) of the anharmonic frequency shift and phonon damping in a number of fcc metals is investigated on the basis of microscopic…

Transient responses of the electronic excitation and coherent soft phonon are investigated both above and below the ferroelectric phase transition temperature T$_{c}$ in Pb$_{1-x}$Ge$_{x}$Te by using an optical pump-probe technique. The…

Recent experimental results on two hcp phases of barium under high pressure show interesting variation of the lattice parameters. They are here interpreted in terms of electronic structure calculation by using the LMTO method and…

The phonon dispersions of the bcc and fcc phases of pure iron ({\alpha}-Fe, {\gamma}-Fe and {\delta}-Fe) at ambient pressure were investigated close to the respective phase transition temperatures. In the open bcc structure the transverse…

The BCS-BEC crossover is studied in a systematic way in the broken-symmetry phase between zero temperature and the critical temperature. This study bridges two regimes where quantum and thermal fluctuations are, respectively, important. The…

BEC is a quantum phenomenon, where a macroscopic number of bosons occupy the lowest energy state and acquire coherence at low temperatures. It is realized not only in $^4$He and dilute atomic gases, but also in quantum magnets, where…

The sequence of phase transitions in PbHf0.83Sn0.17O3 has been studied by THz, far infrared and Raman spectroscopies, revealing the complementary behaviour of both, polar and non-polar phonons and their impact on the transition lattice…
