We analyze the influence of shell effects on thermodynamic properties of matter at high
pressures. Spherically symmetric average atom models show significant contribution of …

First principles total energy calculations on hcp, ω (a three atom simple hexagonal), β (bcc)
and fcc phases of osmium have been performed as a function of hydrostatic compression …

We use a self-consistent model combining the Quotidian Equation Of State and a
nonrelativistic screened-hydrogenic model with ℓ-splitting to study the thermodynamic …

We present the results of our studies using the first principles theories on materials in which
controversies exist in the diamond anvil cell based high pressure data. The importance of …

New shock compression data for Al, Cu, and Pb in the pressure range 0.3–1 TPa (3–10
Mbar) have been combined with first-principles theory and earlier equation-of-state data to …

We have simulated the shock Hugoniot of copper and uranium based on the results of first
principles electronic structure calculations. The room temperature isotherm has been …

A simple equation-of-state model, which relates the pressure with the density and the
specific internal energy, is applied for rubidium and cesium in the bcc-solid and liquid …

A detailed understanding of the material response to rapid compression is challenging and
demanding. For instance, the element gold under dynamic compression exhibits complex …

The shock Hugoniot for lithium 6 deuteride (LiD 6) was calculated via first principles using
Kohn-Sham density-functional theory molecular dynamics (KSMD) for temperatures of 0.5 …

The paper presents the theoretical analysis of experimental data on the compression of
noble gases (argon, krypton, xenon) under static conditions in diamond anvils and shock …
