We report the formations of fcc and distorted hcp iron-helium compounds with x in FeHex up to 0.13 and 0.48, respectively, based on experiments at 5-54 GPa and ~1000-2820 K. Upon releasing pressure under room temperature, these fcc and…

Helium and rare gases (RG: Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) are typically considered chemically inert, yet under the extreme pressures of planetary interiors they may form compounds with unexpected properties. Using crystal structure prediction and…

The high-pressure melting diagram of iron is a vital ingredient for the geodynamic modeling of planetary interiors. Nonetheless, available data for molten iron show an alarming discrepancy. Herein, we propose an efficient one-phase approach…

Helium is generally understood to be chemically inert and this is due to its extremely stable closed-shell electronic configuration, zero electron affinity and an unsurpassed ionization potential. It is not known to form thermodynamically…

Experimentally discovered compounds in the iron-nitrogen system belong to the low concentration part of the Fe-N phase diagram. In our paper, which is based on ab initio calculations we have studied formation and stability of high-pressure…

Helium (He) is the most inert noble gas at ambient conditions. It adopts a hexagonal close packed structure (P63/mmc) and remains in the insulating phase up to 32 TPa. In contrast, lithium (Li) is one of the most reactive metals at zero…

Being a lithophile element at ambient pressure, magnesium is long believed to be immiscible with iron. A recent study by Gao et al. [1] showed that pressure turns magnesium into a siderophile element and can produce unconventional Fe-Mg…

Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe, and together with silica, they are major components of giant planets. Exploring the reactivity and state of helium and silica under high pressure is of fundamental importance for…

A class of iridium hydrides, IrH_x (x=0.5, 1-4, 6), is calculated at ab-initio level using the DFT. A number of hydrides are predicted to stabilize in the excess hydrogen environment and upon compression. The threshold pressure for…

The Fe-Si-O ternary system, central to modeling the interiors of terrestrial planets, remains poorly constrained at Terapascal (TPa) pressures characteristic of super-Earth mantles. Using a combination of crystal-structure prediction and ab…

In order to study the performance of interatomic potentials and their reliability at higher pressures, the phase diagram of four different embedded-atom type potential models of iron is compared. The calculations were done by the nested…

The polymorphism and mechanism of helium compounds is crucial for understanding the physical and chemical nature of He-bearing materials under pressures. Here, we predict two new types of He-bearing compounds, MgHe and MgnHe (n = 6, 8, 10,…

The phase diagram and equation of state of dense nitrogen are of interest in understanding the fundamental physics and chemistry under extreme conditions, including planetary processes, and in discovering new materials. We predict several…

The Fe-O system is fundamental to understanding the composition and properties of the Earth's core. Recent studies have suggested the possible existence of stable, iron-rich FenO compounds at around 215 GPa. Here, we performed…

Motivated by the recent discovery of near-room temperature superconductivity in high-pressure superhydrides, we investigate from first-principles the high-pressure superconducting phase diagram of the ternary Ca-B-H system, using ab-initio…

Uranium is considered as a very important nuclear energy material because of the huge amount of energy released. As the main products of spontaneous decay of uranium, helium is difficult to react with uranium for its chemical inertness.…

Computational searches for stable and metastable structures of water ice and other H:O compositions at TPa pressures have led us to predict that H$_2$O decomposes into H$_2$O$_2$ and a hydrogen-rich phase at pressures of a little over 5…

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…

Recently a big number of works devoted to search for new hydrides with record high-temperature superconductivity and at the same time the successful synthesis of potential high-TC superconducting FeH5 was reported. We present a systematic…

We study the zero-temperature phase diagram of two-dimensional helium-4 using neural quantum states. Our variational description allows us to address liquid and solid phases using the same functional form as well as exploring possible…
