Pressure, a fundamental thermodynamic variable, can generate two essential effects on
materials. First, pressure can create new high-pressure phases via modification of the …

We present a quantum mechanical model capable of describing isotropic compression of
single atoms in a non-reactive neon-like environment. Studies of 93 atoms predict drastic …

In this review, we summarize the rapid progress that has been made in the study of noble
gas chemistry in solid compounds under high pressure. Thanks to the recent development of …

An enduring geological mystery concerns the missing xenon problem, referring to the
abnormally low concentration of xenon compared to other noble gases in Earth's …

At high pressure, the typical behavior of elements dictated by the periodic table—including
oxidation numbers, stoichiometries in compounds, and reactivity, to name but a few—is …

Using in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy in concert with first
principles calculations we demonstrate the synthesis of stable Xe (Fe, Fe/Ni) 3 and XeNi 3 …

External mechanical stress alters the nature of chemical bonds and triggers novel reactions,
providing interesting synthetic protocols to supplement traditional solvent-or thermo-based …

The pressure-induced reaction between xenon (Xe) and other non-inert gas elements and
the resultant crystal structures have attracted great interest. In this work, we carried out …

The martensitic transformation is a fundamental physical phenomenon at the origin of
important industrial applications. However, the underlying microscopic mechanism, which is …

Previous studies have suggested that high pressure may induce chemical activity in noble
gases (He and Xe), resulting in the emergence of high-pressure compounds containing …
