A quantum critical point is approached by applying pressure in a number of magnetic metals. The observed dependence of Tc on pressure necessarily means that the magnetic energy is coupled to the lattice. A first order phase transition…
If there is a first-order phase transition in the light quark region of 2+1-flavor finite temperature and density QCD and if the region of the first-order phase transition expands with increasing density as suggested by several studies,…
This is a short review of the physical ideas,algorithm for the calculation of the phase transition pressure and some results of a semi-classical theory of the behaviour of materials under high pressure proposed by P.Savic and R.Kasanin.It…
A first-principles-derived approach is developed to study finite-temperature properties of PbZr{1-x}Ti{x}O3 (PZT) solid solutions near the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). Structural and piezoelectric predictions are in excellent…
Understanding and predicting lattice dynamics in strongly anharmonic crystals is one of the long-standing challenges in condensed matter physics. Here we propose a first-principles method that gives accurate quasiparticle (QP) peaks of the…
An accurate and easily extendable method to deal with lattice dynamics of solids is offered. It is based on first-principles molecular dynamics simulations and provides a consistent way to extract the best possible harmonic - or higher…
The thermodynamic parameters of the superconducting state in PtH at the pressure 76 GPa have been examined. The calculations have been carried out in the framework of the Eliashberg formalism. It has been found that the critical temperature…
The generic 1-bond:2-mode percolation type Raman signal inherent to the short bond of common (A,B)C semiconductor mixed crystals with zincblende (cubic) structure is exploited as a sensitive mesoscope to explore how various ZnSe-based…
In the substitutionally disordered narrow-gap semiconductor Pb_{1-x}Ge_xTe, a finite-temperature cubic-rhombohedral transition appears above a critical concentration $x \approx 0.005$. As a first step towards a first-principles…
The theoretical exploration of the phase diagrams of binary hydrides under pressure using \emph{ab initio} crystal structure prediction techniques coupled with first-principles calculations has led to the \emph{in silico} discovery of…
Ground-state structure is found and pressure-induced phase transitions up to 210 kbar are studied in mercury titanate from first principles within the density functional theory. It is established that the $R3c$ structure experimentally…
A new type of heavy transition metal carbide (TMC), Ru2C with a space group of p3 - m1(164) was synthesized experimentally at high pressurehigh temperature [J Phys. Condens. Matter. 2012 Sep 12; 24(36): 362202.] and it was consequently…
We have performed ab initio calculations for new high-pressure phase of Ca-VI between 158-180 GPa. The study includes elastic parameters of mono- and poly-crystalline aggregates, electronic band structure, lattice dynamics and…
We have used diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations to study the pressure-induced phase transition from the diamond to $\beta$-tin structure in silicon. The calculations employ the pseudopotential technique and systematically…
We perform first-principles electron-phonon calculations to evaluate the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ for ternary superhard metals B$_2$C$_3$N and B$_4$C$_5$N$_3$. These materials are predicted to exhibit a wide distribution…
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…
Zirconium (Zr) is an important engineering material with numerous practical applications. It undergoes martensitic $\alpha$ to $\omega$ phase transformation (PT) at pressures that vary from 0.67 GPa to 17 GPa under different loading…
Using first-principles variable-composition evolutionary methodology, we explored the high-pressure structures of beryllium hydrides between 0 and 400 GPa. We found that BeH$_2$ remains the only stable compound in this pressure range. The…
The low-pressure stabilization of superconducting hydrides with high critical temperatures ($T_c$s) remains a significant challenge, and experimentally verified superconducting hydrides are generally constrained to a limited number of…
We report experimental discovery of tantalum polyhydride superconductor. It was synthesized at high pressure and high temperature conditions using diamond anvil cell combined with in-situ high pressure laser heating techniques. The…
