Designing materials with advanced functionalities is the main focus of contemporary solid-
state physics and chemistry. Research efforts worldwide are funneled into a few high-end …

Atomistic simulations of chemical, biological and materials systems have become
increasingly precise and predictive owing to the development of accurate and efficient …

Two or more liquid states may exist even for single-component substances, which is known
as liquid polymorphism, and the transition between them is called liquid–liquid transition …

Observations of Jupiter's gravity field by Juno have revealed surprisingly low values for the
high-order gravitational moments, considering the abundances of heavy elements …

Eighty years ago, it was proposed that solid hydrogen would become metallic at sufficiently
high density. Despite numerous investigations, this transition has not yet been …

Abstract The Juno spacecraft measured Jupiter's gravity field and determined the even and
odd zonal harmonics, J n, with unprecedented precision. However, interpreting these …

The metallization of high-pressure hydrogen, together with the associated molecular to
atomic transition, is one of the most important problems in the field of high-pressure physics …

We present a 5-phase equation of state for elemental carbon which addresses a wide range
of density and temperature conditions: 3 g/cc< ρ< 20 g/cc, 0 K< T<∞. The phases …

The insulator-metal transition in hydrogen is one of the most outstanding problems in
condensed-matter physics. The high-pressure metallic phase is now predicted to be liquid …

The phase diagram of high-pressure hydrogen is of great interest for fundamental research,
planetary physics, and energy applications. A first-order phase transition in the fluid phase …
