Laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LH-DAC) experimentation has emerged as a leading
technique for materials processing at extreme pressures and temperatures. LH-DAC …

The accurate determination of melting curves for transition metals is an intense topic within
high pressure research, both because of the technical challenges included as well as the …

Severe plastic deformations under high pressure are used to produce nanostructured
materials but were studied ex-situ. Rough diamond anvils are introduced to reach maximum …

X-ray diffraction measurements performed in a diamond anvil cell under quasihydrostatic
conditions up to 142 GPa at 300 K evidence an α-Zr→(17 GPa) ω-Zr→(35 GPa) β-Zr phase …

In this work we present the melting curves of hafnium and zirconium obtained using
quantum molecular dynamics calculations. The mean-square displacements computed …

Tens of Zr inter-atomic potentials (force fields) have been developed to enable atomic-scale
simulations of Zr alloys. These can provide critical insight in the in-reactor behaviour of …

We present a new classical interatomic potential for a study of the binary Zr-Nb system,
taking into account a wide range of the components concentrations. The potential was …

We present a new interatomic potential for atomistic modeling of α-and β-phases of
zirconium. The potential was developed within the framework of the N-body approach, which …

The field of high-pressure materials research has grown steadily over the last seven
decades, with many remarkable discoveries having been made. This work is part II of a three …

We present quantum molecular dynamics calculations of thermophysical properties of solid
and liquid zirconium in the vicinity of melting. An overview of available experimental data is …
