Ionic layered PbFCl-type compounds under high pressure

Stable Lithium Argon compounds under high pressure.

High pressure can fundamentally alter the bonding patterns of chemical elements. Its effects include stimulating elements thought to be "inactive" to form unexpectedly stable compounds with unusual chemical and physical properties. Here, using an unbiased structure search method based on CALYPSO methodology and density functional total energy calculations, the phase stabilities and crystal stru...

Defect properties and ionic transport in layered compounds

We present the results of calculations of the structure and ionic conduction mechanisms in the superionic compounds P-A1203 and Li3N.

Magnetic properties of the filled skutterudite-type structure compounds GdRu4P12 and TbRu4P12 synthesized under high pressure

High performance under pressure.

Nanomaterials under high-pressure.

The use of high-pressure for the study and elaboration of homogeneous nanostructures is critically reviewed. Size effects, the interaction between nanostructures and guest species or the interaction of the nanosystem with the pressure transmitting medium are emphasized. Phase diagrams and the possibilities opened by the combination of pressure and temperature for the elaboration of new nanomate...
