Volume Collapse Without a Structural Transition in Shock-Compressed FeO
C. Crépisson, T. Stevens, M. Fitzgerald +121
We report x-ray diffraction and emission spectroscopy of FeO under laser-driven shock compression between 31-199 GPa. FeO retains the B1 (rocksalt) structure along the Hugoniot to…

From diamond to BC8 to simple cubic and back: kinetic pathways to post-diamond carbon phases from metadynamics
Roman MartoÅák, Sergey Galitskiy, Azat Tipeev +2
The experimental observation of elusive post-diamond carbon phases at extreme pressures remains a major challenge in high-pressure science. Using metadynamics with coordination-num…
