Ab-initio calculations for the beta-tin diamond transition in Silicon: comparing theories with experiments
Sandro Sorella, Michele Casula, Leonardo Spanu +1
We investigate the pressure-induced metal-insulator transition from diamond to beta-tin in bulk Silicon, using quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) and density functional theory (DFT) approac…

Ab initio investigation of the melting line of nitrogen at high pressure
Davide Donadio, Leonardo Spanu, Ivan Duchemin +2
Understanding the behavior of molecular systems under pressure is a fundamental problem in condensed matter physics. In the case of nitrogen, the determination of the phase diagram…
