Phase transformation in Si from semiconducting diamond to metallic beta-Sn phase in QMC and DFT under hydrostatic and anisotropic stress
R. G. Hennig, A. Wadehra, K. P. Driver +3
Silicon undergoes a phase transition from the semiconducting diamond phase to the metallic beta-Sn phase under pressure. We use quantum Monte Carlo calculations to predict the tran…

Quantum Monte Carlo for minerals at high pressure: Phase stability, equations of state, and elasticity of silica
K. P. Driver, R. E. Cohen, Zhigang Wu +5
Silica is an abundant component of the Earth whose crystalline polymorphs play key roles in its structure and dynamics. As the simplest silicates, understanding pure silica is a pr…
