Evolutionary structure searches predict three new phases of iodine polyhydrides stable under pressure. Insulating P1-H5I, consisting of zigzag chains of HI (delta+)and H2(delta-) molecules, is stable between 30-90 GPa. Cmcm-H2I and P6/mmm-H4I are found on the 100, 150 and 200 GPa convex hulls. These two phases are good metals, even at 1 atm, because they consist of monoatomic lattices of iodine. At 100 GPa the Tc of H2I and H4I are estimated to be 7.8 and 17.5 K, respectively. The increase in Tc relative to elemental iodine results from a larger omega-log from the light mass of hydrogen, and an enhanced lambda from modes containing H/I and H/H vibrations.

We report a detailed ab initio investigation on hydrogen bonding, geometry, electronic structure, and lattice dynamics of ice under a large high pressure range, including the ice X phase (55-380GPa), the previous theoretically proposed higher-pressur
e phase ice XIIIM (Refs. 1-2) (380GPa), ice XV (a new structure we derived from ice XIIIM) (300-380GPa), as well as the ambient pressure low-temperature phase ice XI. Different from many other materials, the band gap of ice X is found to be increasing linearly with pressure from 55GPa up to 290GPa, the electronic density of states (DOS) shows that the valence bands have a tendency of red shift (move to lower energies) referring to the Fermi energy while the conduction bands have a blue shift (move to higher energies). This behavior is interpreted as the high pressure induced change of s-p charge transfers between hydrogen and oxygen. It is found that ice X exists in the pressure range from 75GPa to about 290GPa. Beyond 300GPa, a new hydrogen-bonding structure with 50% hydrogen atoms in symmetric positions in O-H-O bonds and the other half being asymmetric, ice XV, is identified. The physical mechanism for this broken symmetry in hydrogen bonding is revealed.
A study of high pressure solid Te was carried out at room temperature using Raman spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The analysis of the P-dependence of the experi- mental phonon spectrum reveals the occurrence of phase tr
ansitions at 4 GPa and 8 GPa confirming the high-pressure scenario recently proposed. The effects of the incommensurate lattice modulation on the vibrational properties of Te is discussed. DFT calculations agree with present and previous experimental data and show the metallization process at 4 GPa being due to the development of charge-bridges between atoms belonging to adjacent chains. A first-principles study of the stability of the 4 GPa phase is reported and discussed also in the light of the insurgence of lattice modulation.
We investigate the high-pressure behaviour of beryllium, magnesium and calcium difluorides using ab initio random structure searching and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, over the pressure range 0-70 GPa. Beryllium fluoride exhibits exte
nsive polymorphism at low pressures, and we find two new phases for this compound - the silica moganite and CaCl2 structures - which are stable over the wide pressure range 12-57 GPa. For magnesium fluoride, our searching results show that the orthorhombic `O-I TiO2 structure (Pbca, Z=8) is stable for this compound between 40 and 44 GPa. Our searches find no new phases at the static-lattice level for calcium difluoride between 0 and 70 GPa; however, a phase with P62m symmetry is close to stability over this pressure range, and our calculations predict that this phase is stabilised at high temperature. The P62m structure exhibits an unstable phonon mode at large volumes which may signal a transition to a superionic state at high temperatures. The Group-II difluorides are isoelectronic to a number of other AB2-type compounds such as SiO2 and TiO2, and we discuss our results in light of these similarities.
Prediction of stable crystal structures at given pressure-temperature conditions, based only on the knowledge of the chemical composition, is a central problem of condensed matter physics. This extremely challenging problem is often termed crystal st
ructure prediction problem, and recently developed evolutionary algorithm USPEX (Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography) made an important progress in solving it, enabling efficient and reliable prediction of structures with up to ~40 atoms in the unit cell using ab initio methods. Here we review this methodology, as well as recent progress in analyzing energy landscape of solids (which also helps to analyze results of USPEX runs). We show several recent applications - (1) prediction of new high-pressure phases of CaCO3, (2) search for the structure of the polymeric phase of CO2 (phase V), (3) high-pressure phases of oxygen, (4) exploration of possible stable compounds in the Xe-C system at high pressures, (5) exotic high-pressure phases of elements boron and sodium.
Although copper and bismuth do not form any compounds at ambient conditions, two intermetallics, CuBi and Cu$_{11}$Bi$_7$, were recently synthesized at high pressures. Here we report on the discovery of additional copper-bismuth phases at elevated pr
essures with high-densities from ab initio calculations. In particular, a Cu$_2$Bi compound is found to be thermodynamically stable at pressures above 59 GPa, crystallizing in the cubic Laves structure. In strong contrast to Cu$_{11}$Bi$_7$ and CuBi, cubic Cu$_2$Bi does not exhibit any voids or channels. Since the bismuth lone pairs in cubic Cu$_2$Bi are stereochemically inactive, the constituent elements can be closely packed and a high density of 10.52 g/cm$^{3}$ at 0 GPa is achieved. The moderate electron-phonon coupling of $lambda=0.68$ leads to a superconducting temperature of 2 K, which exceeds the values observed both in Cu$_{11}$Bi$_7$and CuBi, as well as in elemental Cu and Bi .
