Temperature-dependent atomistic structure evolution of liquid gallium (Ga) has been
investigated by using in situ high energy X-ray diffraction experiment and ab initio molecular …

Density functional molecular dynamical simulations have been performed on Ga 17 and Ga
13 clusters to understand the recently observed higher-than-bulk melting temperatures in …

Structural and electronic properties of various solid-state phases of gallium have been
studied by means of first-principles total-energy calculations. Our results confirm that while …

We present a first-principles theoretical study of the atomic and electronic structures, and of
the zero-temperature phases of gallium. The picture of α-Ga that emerges is of a metallic …

Gallium is a metal that literally melts in your hand. It has low toxicity, near-zero vapor
pressure, and a viscosity similar to water. Despite possessing a surface tension larger than …

Gallium-based liquid metals have gained plenty of attention in the scientific community due
to their extraordinary properties. The most intriguing properties of liquid metals are high …

The surface of liquid metals plays a critical role in establishing thermodynamic equilibria
(both mass and energy) at the interface between liquid metal and air. The exploration on the …
