Recent high pressure work has suggested that elemental barium forms a high pressure self-hosting structure (Ba IV) involving two `types' of barium atom. Uniquely among reported elemental structures it cannot be described by a single…

The effect of pressure on the hexagonal close-packed structure of titanium is investigated. The lattice parameters of the equilibrium structure were determined in terms of the Gibbs free energy using the Epitaxial Bain Path method. When…

Alkaline-earth metal oxides, in particular MgO and CaO dominate Earths lower mantle, therefore, exploring high pressure behavior of this class of compounds is of significant geophysical research interest. Among all these compounds, BaO…

First-principles calculations are performed for electronic structures of two high pressure phases of solid selenium, $\beta$-Po and bcc. Our calculation reproduces well the pressure-induced phase transition from $\beta$-Po to bcc observed…

Recent high-pressure x-ray diffraction studies of alkali metals revealed unusual complex structures that follow the body-centered and face-centered cubic structures on compression. The structural sequence of potassium under compression to 1…

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…

Layered $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$has been studied using a concomitant in-situ synchrotron angle dispersive powder x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy study in a diamond anvil cell up to 60+ GPa, at room temperature. Helium, that remains…

The pressure induced bcc to hcp transition in Fe has been investigated via ab-initio electronic structure calculations. It is found by the disordered local moment (DLM) calculations that the temperature induced spin fluctuations result in…

The equation of state, structural behavior and phase stability of {\alpha}-uranium have been investigated up to 1.3 TPa using density functional theory, adopting a simple description of electronic structure that neglects the spin-orbit…

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…

Lithium - the lightest alkali metal - exhibits unexpected structures and electronic behaviour at high pressures. As the heavier alkalis, Li is bcc at ambient pressure and transforms first to fcc (at 7.5 GPa). The post-fcc high-pressure form…

\textit{Ab initio} random structure searching based on density functional theory is used to determine the ground-state structures of ice at high pressures. Including estimates of lattice zero-point energies, ice is found to adopt three…

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…

Transport and magnetic studies of PbTaSe$_2$ under pressure suggest existence of two superconducting phases with the low temperature phase boundary at $\sim 0.25$ GPa that is defined by a very sharp, first order, phase transition. The first…

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…

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…

By employing first-principles metadynamics simulations, we explore the 300 K structures of solid hydrogen over the pressure range 150-300 GPa. At 200 GPa, we find the ambient-pressure disordered hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase transited…

A study of high pressure solid Te was carried out at room temperature using Raman spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The analysis of the P-dependence of the experi- mental phonon spectrum reveals the occurrence…

High pressure electrical resistivity and x-ray diffraction experiments have been performed on Fe single crystals. The crystallographic investigation provides direct evidence that in the martensitic $bcc \rightarrow hcp$ transition at 14 GPa…
