Alchemical thermodynamic integration for ab initio free-energy calculations in solutions

Liangrui Wei, Feng Zhang, Renata M. Wentzcovitch +2

We develop an alchemical thermodynamic integration scheme that couples ab initio force calculators on the fly during Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations. The implementat…

Fragile electron-phonon superconductivity in MnB4 under pressure

Renhai Wang, Shiya Chen, Feng Zheng +7

The origin of pressure-induced superconductivity in MnB4 remains unclear. Here we show that it can be explained by electron-phonon coupling once the structural space is mapped usin…

Disentangling electronic and phononic contributions to high-temperature superconductivity in X2MH6 hydrides

Feng Zheng, Shiya Chen, Zhen Zhang +7

Understanding the factors that control superconductivity is essential for discovering new superconducting materials using high-throughput elemental substitution. Focusing on the re…

Ab initio superionic-liquid phase diagram of Fe1-xOx under Earth's inner core conditions

Zepeng Wu, Chen Gao, Feng Zhang +4

The superionic state is a phase of matter in which liquid-like ionic mobility coexists with a solid crystalline lattice. Recently identified in Earth's inner core (IC), this state…

Unveiling the effect of Ni on the formation and structure of Earth's inner core

Yang Sun, Mikhail I. Mendelev, Feng Zhang +5

Ni is the second most abundant element in the Earth's core. Yet, its effects on the inner core's structure and formation process are usually disregarded because of its electronic a…

Prediction of superconductivity in metallic boron-carbon compounds from 0 to 100 GPa by high-throughput screening

Feng Zheng, Yang Sun, Renhai Wang +7

Boron carbon compounds have been shown to have feasible superconductivity. In our earlier paper [Zheng et al., Phys. Rev. B 107, 014508 (2023)], we identified a new conventional su…
