Recently, there have been significant theoretical advances in our understanding of liquids and dense supercritical fluids based on their ability to support high frequency transverse (shear) waves. Here, we have constructed a new computer model using... Read More about Modeling of liquid internal energy and heat capacity over a wide pressure–temperature range from first principles.

Raman spectroscopy of ethane (C 2 H 6 ) to 120 GPa at 300 K (2020)
Journal Article
Read, L., Spender, J., & Proctor, J. (2020). Raman spectroscopy of ethane (C 2 H 6 ) to 120 GPa at 300 K. Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 51(11), 2311-2317. https://doi.org/10.1002/jrs.5971

We have conducted a Raman study of solid ethane (C2H6) at pressures up to 120 GPa at 300 K. We observe changes within the ν3 and ν11 Raman‐active vibrational modes providing evidence for several previously unobserved phase transitions at room tempera...

Experimental and theoretical confirmation of an orthorhombic phase transition in niobium at high pressure and temperature (2020)
Journal Article
Errandonea, D., Burakovsky, L., Preston, D., MacLeod, S., Santamaría-Perez, D., Chen, S., …Mezouar, M. (2020). Experimental and theoretical confirmation of an orthorhombic phase transition in niobium at high pressure and temperature. communications materials, 1, 60. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43246-020-00058-2

Compared to other body-centered cubic (bcc) transition metals, Nb has been the subject of fewer compression studies and there are still aspects of its phase diagram which are unclear. Here, we report a combined theoretical and experimental study of N...
