Excitonic Insulator to Superconductor Phase Transition in Ultra-Compressed Helium
Cong Liu, Ion Errea, Chris Pickard +8
Helium, the second most abundant element in the universe, exhibits an extremely large electronic band gap of about eV at low pressures ( GPa). While the metallization…
Partially Diffusive Helium-Silica Compound in the Deep Interiors of Giant Planets
Cong Liu, Junjie Wang, Xin Deng +7
Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe, and together with silica, they are major components of giant planets. Exploring the reactivity and state of helium and s…
Superionic silica-water and silica-hydrogen compounds under high pressure
Hao Gao, Cong Liu, Jiuyang Shi +6
Silica, water and hydrogen are known to be the major components of celestial bodies, and have significant influence on the formation and evolution of giant planets, such as Uranus…
A novel superhard tungsten nitride predicted by machine-learning accelerated crystal structure searching
Kang Xia, Hao Gao, Cong Liu +3
Transition metal nitrides have been suggested to have both high hardness and good thermal stability with large potential application value, but so far stable superhard transition m…
Superhard and Superconducting B6C
Kang Xia, Mengdong Ma, Cong Liu +7
Crystal structure searching and ab initio calculations have been used here to explore low-energy structures of boron carbides under high pressure. Under pressures of 85-110 GPa, a…
