In this work we explore the phase diagram of the binary Nb-S system from ambient pressures up to 250 GPa using $ab$ $initio$ evolutionary crystal structure prediction. We find several new stable compositions and phases, especially in the…
We propose three new phases of H2O under ultrahigh pressure. Our structural search was performed using an adaptive genetic algorithm which allows an extensive exploration of crystal structure. The new sequence of pressure-induced…
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…
Materials under complex loading develop large strains and often transition via an elastic instability, as observed in both simple and complex systems. Here, we present Si I under large strain in terms of Lagrangian strain by an…
Constructing an accurate atomistic model for the high-pressure phases of tin (Sn) is challenging because properties of Sn are sensitive to pressures. We develop machine-learning-based deep potentials for Sn with pressures ranging from 0 to…
High pressure Raman spectroscopy of bulk 2H-MoTe$_2$ upto $\sim$ 29 GPa is shown to reveal two phase transitions (at $\sim$ 6 and 16.5 GPa), which are analyzed using first-principles density functional theoretical calculations. The…
Room temperature angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction measurements on zircon-type YPO4 and ErPO4, and monazite-type GdPO4, EuPO4, NdPO4, and LaPO4 were performed in a diamond-anvil cell up to 27 GPa using neon as pressure-transmitting medium.…
We study the normal modes and the stability of two component condensates in a phase separated regime. In such a regime the system can undergo a quantum phase transition upon the change of interaction strength between bosons of the same…
We revisit the phase diagram of BaTiO$_3$ under biaxial strain using a first principles-based effective Hamiltonian approach. We show that, in addition to the tetragonal ($c$), quasi-rhombohedral ($r$), and quasi-orthorhombic ($aa$)…
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, via a phenomenological consideration I show that, equally with the conventional phases (body-centred cubic, hexagonal planar and lamellar), such non-conventional phases as simple cubic,…
Two known distinct examples of one-dimensional systems which are known to exhibit a phase transition are critically examined: (A) a lattice model with harmonic nearest-neighbor elastic interactions and an on-site Morse potential, and (B)…
We observe a structural phase transition between two configurations of a superradiant crystal by coupling a Bose-Einstein condensate to an optical cavity and applying imbalanced transverse pump fields. We find that this first order phase…
Investigations of the phase diagram of biaxial liquid crystal systems through analyses of general Hamiltonian models within the simplifications of mean-field theory (MFT), as well as by computer simulations based on microscopic models, are…
The high-pressure behavior of monoclinic VO$_2$ is revisited by a combination of Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction on a single crystal under hydrostatic conditions at room temperature. A soft mode is observed up to P$_c$ = 13.9(1)…
We report the first observation of a pressure-induced transition from a superconducting (SC) to an insulating (I) phase in single-crystal Ba1-xKxBiO3 (x = 0.4, 0.43, 0.52, and 0.58) superconductors. X-ray diffraction measurements conducted…
An experimental determination of electronic phase diagrams of high-transition temperature (high-$T_c$) superconductors forms the basis for a microscopic understanding of unconventional superconductivity. For most high-$T_c$ superconductors,…
In steels and single-crystal superalloys the control of the formation of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases is critical for the performance of the material. The structural stability of TCP phases in multi-component transition-metal…
The elasticity, dynamic properties, and superconductivity of $\alpha$, $\omega$, and $\beta$ Zr are investigated by using first-principles methods. Our calculated elastic constants, elastic moduli, and Debye temperatures of $\alpha$ and…
MAX phases are nanolaminated ternary materials that combine metallic and ceramic properties. Currently, the A-site elements replacement in traditional ones by later transition-metals opens a door to explore new types of MAX phases. In this…
Binary uranium hydrides, UHx (x = 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8), with different crystal symmetries are potentially interesting compounds for high-Tc superconductivity and as hydrogen storage systems. In this work we have explored the structural,…
