First principles calculations based on density functional theory, both with the local density approximation (LDA) and with generalised gradient corrections (GGA), and the projector augmented wave method, have been used to simulate solid and…
Melting of MgO was studied using a multicanonical ensemble method combined with a first-principles calculation. This approach has been successively performed by using a rather simple functional form for a model inter-atomic potential that…
MgO is an abundant mineral in the rocky mantle of terrestrial planets, but its melting behaviors remain enigmatic. Here we introduce a simple theoretical model to investigate the B1-liquid transition of MgO up to 370 GPa. Vibrational free…

Although the melting temperature, $T_{m}$, of a solid can be calculated based on first-principles molecular dynamics (FP-MD) simulations, systematic assessments of the accuracy of the resulting values have not yet been reported. FP-MD…
Melting is a high temperature process that requires extensive sampling of configuration space, thus making melting temperature prediction computationally very expensive and challenging. Over the past few years, I have built two methods to…
