Calcium and magnesium carbonates are believed to be the host compounds for most of the oxidized carbon in the Earth's mantle. Here, using evolutionary crystal structure prediction method USPEX, we systematically explore the MgO-CO2 and…
Recently, it has been shown that under pressure, unexpected and counterintuitive chemical compounds become stable. Laser shock experiments (A. Rode, unpublished) on alumina (Al2O3) have shown non-equilibrium decomposition of alumina with…
Ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) and density functional theory methods are used to predict structures of calcium and magnesium carbonate (CaCO$_3$ and MgCO$_3$) at high pressures. We find a previously unknown CaCO$_3$ structure…
Structures of calcium peroxide (CaO2) are investigated in the pressure range 0-200 GPa using the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At 0 GPa, there are several CaO2…
It is well known that pressure causes profound changes in the properties of atoms and chemical bonding, leading to the formation of many unusual materials. Here we systematically explore all stable calcium carbides at pressures from ambient…
Understanding the high-pressure behavior of C-H system is of great importance due to its key role in organic, bio-, petroleum and planetary chemistry. We have performed a systematic investigation of the pressure-composition phase diagram of…
A growing body of theoretical and experimental evidence suggests that inert gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn) become less and less inert under increasing pressure. Here we use the ab initio evolutionary algorithm to predict stable compounds of…
Fe, Mg, and O are among the most abundant elements in terrestrial planets. While the behavior of the Fe-O, Mg-O, and Fe-Mg binary systems under pressure have been investigated, there are still very few studies of the Fe-Mg-O ternary system…
We have used density-functional-theory methods and the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) approach to predict stable structures and stoichiometries of mixtures of iron and oxygen at high pressures. Searching was performed for 12…
The stability, structure and properties of carbonate minerals at lower mantle conditions has significant impact on our understanding of the global carbon cycle and the composition of the interior of the Earth. In recent years, there has…
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 this paper we present a first-principles study of the high-pressure superconducting phase diagram of calcium alanates (Ca-Al-H), based on ab-initio crystal structure prediction and anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg Theory. Calcium alanates…
Experimental studies established that calcium undergoes several counterintuitive transitions under pressure: fcc \rightarrow bcc \rightarrow simple cubic \rightarrow Ca-IV \rightarrow Ca-V, and becomes a good superconductor in the simple…
Group I/II materials exhibit unexpected structural phase transitions at high pressures, providing potential insight into the origins of elemental superconductivity. We present here a computational study of elemental barium and binary…
We study the electronic and lattice dynamical properties of compressed solid germane in the pressure range up to 200 GPa with density functional theory. A stable metallic structure, Aba2, with a base-centered orthorhombic symmetry was found…
First-principles simulations have been performed to investigate the phase stability of tantalum metal under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). We searched its low-energy structures globally using our developed multi-algorithm…
We present a theoretical investigation, based on ab initio calculations and the quasi-harmonic approximation, on the stability properties of magnesium (MgCO$_3$) and calcium (CaCO$_3$) carbonates at high temperatures and pressures. The…
Uranium nitrides have been the subject of intense research owing to their potential applications as advanced nuclear fuels. However, the phase diagram of the U-N system at low temperature and high pressure still remains unclear. In this…
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…
The prediction of new high entropy oxides (HEOs) remains a profound challenge due to their inherent chemical complexity. In this work, we combine experimental and computational methods to search for new HEOs in the tetravalent $A$O$_2$…
