Orthorhombic (space group: Pnma) Nb2P5 is a high-pressure phase that is quenchable to ambient pressure, which could viewed as the zigzag infinite P chain-inserted NbP2. We report herein the high-pressure crystal growth of Nb2P5 and the…

Lanthanum (La), the first member of the rare-earth elements, recently aroused strong interest due to its unique superhydride with superconducting properties. Although there is much theoretical and experimental work about phase transitions…

We investigate the electronic structure of americium (Am) across its four experimentally confirmed high-pressure phases Am-I (P63/mmc), Am-II (Fm-3m), Am-III (Fddd), and Am-IV (Pnma) up to 100 GPa, using density functional theory combined…

Effects of vacuum polarization modify the energy levels in atoms with an orbiting particle heavier than an electron. The dominant effect is due to the Uehling potential. In this paper we consider the relativistic corrections to the energy…

Lattice distortion due to octahedral rotation and distortion are high focussed, and it produces profound effect on a material's properties, such as its bandgap, magnetism and optical properties etc. Rutile-type \b{eta}-MnO2 is a wide used…

We describe current experimental and theoretical understanding of the pressure-induced volume collapse transitions occurring in the early trivalent rare earth metals. General features of orbitally realistic mean-field based theories used to…

Conclusive crystal structure determination of the high pressure phases of hydrogen remains elusive due to lack of core electrons and vanishing wave vectors, rendering standard high-pressure experimental methods moot. Ab-initio DFT…

Few-layer $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ has been studied under pressure using Raman spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell up to 60 GPa (at room temperature). A combination of AFM and Raman was used to estimate the thickness of the specimens. While…

Recent experiments showed the distinct observations on the transition metal ditelluride NiTe$_2$ under pressure: one reported a superconducting phase transition at 12 GPa, whereas another observed a sign reversal of Hall resistivity at 16…

Results of X-ray diffraction experiments on solid oxygen at low temperature and at pressures up to 10 GPa are presented.A careful sample preparation and annealing around 240 K allowed to obtain very good diffraction patterns in the…

Azimuthal structures emerging in beam-generated partially magnetized plasmas are investigated using three-dimensional particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision simulations. Two distinct instability regimes are identified at low pressures. When…

We have determined the crystal structures and superconducting transition temperatures of La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 under nearly hydrostatic pressures in diamond anvil cells to 5.0 GPa and 19.0 GPa, respectively. Synchrotron x-ray powder…

We have performed a combined experimental and theoretical study of ethane and methane at high pressures up to 120 GPa at 300 K using x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy and the USPEX ab-initio evolutionary structural search algorithm,…

Highly charged ions of heavy actinides from uranium to einsteinium are studied theoretically to find optical transitions sensitive to the variation of the fine structure constant. A number of promising transitions have been found in ions…

Polytypism of incommensurately modulated structures was hitherto unobserved. Here, we found the phenomenon in simple halogen systems of bromine and iodine upon molecular dissociation in the solids under pressure. Single-crystal synchrotron…

The crystal structures and phonon spectra of orthorhombic cadmium titanate with the $Pbnm$ structure and of its two possible ferroelectrically distorted phases with $Pbn2_1$ and $Pb2_1m$ space groups were calculated from first principles…

Plutonium dioxide is of high technological importance in nuclear fuel cycle and is particularly crucial in long-term storage of Pu-based radioactive waste. Using first-principles density-functional theory, in this paper we systematically…

The effects of high pressure on the crystal structure of orthorhombic (Pnma) perovskite type cerium scandate have been studied in situ under high pressure by means of synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, using a diamond anvil cell. We have…

The interaction of coexisting structural instabilities in multiferroic materials gives rise to intriguing coupling phenomena and extraordinarily rich phase diagrams, both in bulk materials and strained thin films. Here we investigate the…

Ammonium DiNitramide (ADN) is one of the most promising green energetic oxidizers for future rocket propellant formulations. In the present work, we report a detailed theoretical study on structural, elastic, and vibrational properties of…
