As a consequence of the smallness of the electronic fine structure constant, the
characteristic time scale for the free diffusive decay of a magnetic field in a planetary core is …

In stark contrast to common ice, I h, water ice at planetary interior conditions has been
predicted to become superionic with fast-diffusing (that is, liquid-like) hydrogen ions moving …

Recent developments in path integral methodology have significantly reduced the
computational expense of including quantum mechanical effects in the nuclear motion in ab …

In the phase diagram of water, superionic ices with highly mobile protons within the stable
oxygen sublattice have been predicted at high pressures. However, the existence of …

The phase diagrams of water and ammonia were determined by constant pressure ab initio
molecular dynamic simulations at pressures (30 to 300 gigapascal) and temperatures (300 …

This review discusses new developments in shock compression science with a focus on
molecular media. Some basic features of shock and detonation waves, nonlinear excitations …

A new form of equation of state is proposed for use over extremely wide ranges of pressure
where conventional equations fail. In particular, fluids including H2O and CO2 as well as …

The magnetic field experiment on the Voyager 2 spacecraft revealed a strong planetary
magnetic field of Uranus and an associated magnetosphere and fully developed bipolar …

In order to represent the thermodynamic properties of water (H2O) over an extremely large
range of temperature and pressure that is not covered by existing equations of state, a new …

The melting curves of argon, helium 4, ice (H 2 O), and hydrogen (H 2) have been measured
from room temperature up to a maximum temperature of 750 K. This extends the previous …
