The high-pressure and high-temperature behaviors of sodium chloride (NaCl) have the fundamental and application significance to the high pressure physics and chemistry. To explore the reactivity of NaCl at high pressure and high…
A comparative computational study of stability of candidate structures for an as yet unknown silver dichloride AgCl2 is presented. It is found that all considered candidates have a negative enthalpy of formation, but are unstable towards…
A new extended solid nitrogen, referred to post-layered-polymeric nitrogen (PLP-N), was observed by further heating the layered-polymeric nitrogen (LP-N) to above 2300 K at 161 GPa. The new phase is found to be very transparent and exhibits…
AgClO4 has been studied under compression by x-ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations. Experimental evidence of a structural phase transition from the tetragonal structure of AgClO4 to an orthorhombic barite-type…
HCl, a 'textbook' example of a polar covalent molecule, is a well-known compound of hydrogen and chlorine. Inspired by the discovery of unexpected stable stoichiometries of sodium chlorides, we performed systematic searches for all stable…
X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering measurements, and first-principles calculations are performed to search for the formation of NaCl-hydrogen compound. When NaCl and H$_{2}$ mixture is laser-heated to above 1500 K at pressures exceeding…
Hydrocarbons are of great importance in carbon-bearing fluids in deep Earth and in ice giant planets at extreme pressure (P)-temperature (T) conditions. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study the chemical speciation of hydrocarbons;…
We report a study of the structural phase transitions induced by pressure in bulk black phosphorus by using both synchrotron x-ray diffraction for pressures up to 12.2 GPa and Raman spectroscopy up to 18.2 GPa. Very recently black…
The physicochemical behavior of elements and compounds is heavily altered by high pressure. The occurrence of pressure-induced reactions and phase transitions can be revealed by crystal structure prediction approaches. In this work, we…
Exploring the chemistry of materials at high pressures has lead to the discovery of previously unknown exotic compounds. Here, we systematically search for all thermodynamically stable Sr-C compounds under pressure (up to 100 GPa) using the…
Laser heating of rhenium in a diamond anvil cell to 3000 K at about 200 GPa results in formation of two previously unknown rhenium carbides, hexagonal WC-type structured ReC and orthorhombic TiSi2-type structured ReC2. The Re-C slid…
We report the discovery of a new molecular phase of carbon dioxide at high-pressure and high-temperature. Using x-ray diffraction, we identify this phase as the theoretically predicted high-temperature Cmca phase [Bonev et al., Phys. Rev.…
The only known compound of sodium and hydrogen is archetypal ionic NaH. Application of high pressure is known to promote states with higher atomic coordination, but extensive searches for polyhydrides with unusual stoichiometry remain…
Polynitrogen compounds have attracted great interest due to their potential applications as high energy density materials. Most recently, a rich variety of alkali polynitrogens (R_{x}N_{y}; R=Li, Na, and Cs) have been predicted to be stable…
Sodium chloride (NaCl), or rocksalt, is well characterized at ambient pressure. Due to the large electronegativity difference between Na and Cl atoms, it has highly ionic chemical bonding, with stoichiometry 1:1 dictated by charge balance,…
The non-traditional compound KO4 still existing at ambient conditions was synthesized by the reaction of KCl-O2 under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) using the diamond anvil cell and the laser heating technology. The KCl-O2 sample…
The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in hydrogen-rich compounds under extreme pressures has prompted great excitement, intense research, but also debate over the past decade. Electrical transport has been the primary…
Following long-standing predictions associated with hydrogen, high-temperature superconductivity has recently been observed in several hydride-based materials. Nevertheless, these high-$T_c$ phases only exist at extremely high pressures,…
The study of single-crystal Raman spectra of a series of crystalline secondary amides (acetanilide, methacetin, phenacetine, orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs of paracetamol) as well as simple amides formanilide and benzanilide in the…
The pressure evolution of the Raman active electronic excitations of the transition metal dichalcogenides 2H-TaS$_2$ is followed through the pressure phase diagram embedding incommensurate charge-density-wave and superconducting states. At…
