First-principles density-functional calculations within the local-density approximation and the pseudopotential approach are used to study and characterize the ferroelastic phase transition in calcium chloride (CaCl_2). In accord with…
Cadmium arsenide Cd$_3$As$_2$ hosts massless Dirac electrons in its ambient-conditions tetragonal phase. We report X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements of Cd$_3$As$_2$ upon cycling pressure beyond the critical pressure…
We present a theoretical study on the behavior under pressure of the two hypothetical C$_{46}$ and Li$_8$C$_{46}$ type-I carbon clathrates in order to bring new informations concerning their synthesis. Using \textit{ab initio} calculations,…
A high-throughput screening based on first-principles calculations was performed to search for new ternary inorganic electrides. From the available materials database, we identified three new thermodynamically stable materials…
The observed "simple cubic" (sc) phase of elemental Ca at room temperature in the 32-109 GPa range is, from linear response calculations, dynamically unstable. By comparing first principle calculations of the enthalpy for five sc-related…
At high pressure, the typical behavior of elements dictated by the periodic table - including oxidation numbers, stoichiometries in compounds, and reactivity, to name but a few - is altered dramatically. As pressure is applied, the…
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…
Field-induced assembly of colloidal particles into structures of desired configurations is extremely relevant from the viewpoint of producing field-assembled micro-swimmers and reconfigurable smart materials. However, the behaviour of…
The electronic structures of element cerium under high pressure remain unclear all the time. We tried to calculate the electronic structures of $\alpha'$, $\alpha"$, and $\epsilon$-Ce which only exist in the presence of pressure, by using…
Strange metallicity with $T$-linear electrical resistance preceding high-$T_c$ superconductivity remains an enigmatic, yet crucial, signature of correlation physics. Using electrical transport and magnetization measurements up to 50 GPa, we…
The crystal structure of CeN was investigated up to pressures of 82 GPa, using diamond anvil cell powder X-ray diffraction in two experiments with He and Si-oil as the pressure transmitting media. In contrast to previous reports, we do not…
X-ray powder diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements were performed on the tetragonal compound CeCoSi under pressure to elucidate the phase boundary of the pressure-induced structural transition and the change in the 4$f$…
Pressure induced interaction between core electrons, the core level crossing (CLC) transition has been observed in hcp Os at P~400 GPa [L. Dubrovinksy, et al., Nature 525, 226-229 (2015)]. In this work, we carry out a systematic study of…
Solid-solid phase transitions in metals are traditionally driven by changes in density or external pressure. Here we show that, under strong electronic excitation, structural stability is governed by the interplay between electronic effects…
Strongly interacting electrons in a topologically non trivial band may form exotic phases of matter. An especially intriguing example of which is the fractional quantum anomalous Hall phase, recently discovered in twisted transition metal…
We study the phase diagram of calcium fluoride (CaF2) under pressure using classical molecular dynamic simulations performed with a simple pairwise interatomic potential of the Born-Mayer-Huggings form. Our results obtained under conditions…
The behaviour of alkaline carbonates at high pressure is poorly understood. Indeed, theoretical and experimental investigations of general trends of pressure induced structural changes appear in the literature only sporadically. In this…
The major chemical feature of an element is the number of electrons available for forming chemical bonds. A doctrine rooted in the atomic shell model states that the atoms will maintain a complete inner shell while interacting with other…
Earth's inner core (IC) serves as a reservoir for volatile elements, which significantly affects its behavior and properties. Recent studies suggest that superionicity can be observed in ice and iron hydrides under high-pressure and…
A high superconducting critical temperature (Tc) under normal laboratory conditions in a material that is chemically simple and stable, like an elemental metal, is a hitherto unattained goal of modern science and technology. Certain…
