Diamond formation from hydrocarbon mixtures in planets

Bingqing Cheng, Sebastien Hamel, Mandy Bethkenhagen

Hydrocarbon mixtures are extremely abundant in the Universe, and diamond formation from them can play a crucial role in shaping the interior structure and evolution of planets. Wit…

Same and interconvertible high-pressure ice phases

Aleks Reinhardt, Mandy Bethkenhagen, Federica Coppari +3

Most experimentally known high-pressure ice phases have a body-centred cubic (bcc) oxygen lattice. Our atomistic simulations show that, amongst these bcc ice phases, ices VII, VII'…

Low thermal conductivity of iron-silicon alloys at Earth core conditions with implications for the geodynamo

Wen-Pin Hsieh, Alexander F. Goncharov, Stéphane Labrosse +5

Earth core is composed of iron (Fe) alloyed with light elements, e.g., silicon (Si). Its thermal conductivity critically affects Earth thermal structure, evolution, and dynamics, a…

Magnesium Oxide at Extreme Temperatures and Pressures Studied with First-Principles Simulations

François Soubiran, Felipe González-Cataldo, Kevin P. Driver +2

We combine two first-principles computer simulation techniques, path integral Monte-Carlo and density functional theory molecular dynamics, to determine the equation of state of ma…

Path Integral Monte Carlo and Density Functional Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Warm, Dense MgSiO

Felipe González-Cataldo, François Soubiran, Henry Peterson +1

In order to provide a comprehensive theoretical description of MgSiO at extreme conditions, we combine results from path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) and density functional mole…

Strong, Tough and Stiff Bioinspired Ceramics from Brittle Constituents

Florian Bouville, Eric Maire, Sylvain Meille +3

High strength and high toughness are usually mutually exclusive in engineering materials. Improving the toughness of strong but brittle materials like ceramics thus relies on the i…
