Equations of state and stability of MgSiO${}_3$ perovskite and post-perovskite phases from quantum Monte Carlo simulations

Yangzheng Lin, R. E. Cohen, Stephen Stackhouse +4

We have performed quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the equations of state of MgSiO${}_3$ perovskite (Pv) and post-perov…
