The coexistence pressure of two phases is a well-defined point at fixed temperature. In experiment, however, due to nonhydrostatic stresses and a stress-dependent potential energy barrier, different measurements yield different ranges of pressure with a hysteresis. Accounting for these effects, we propose an inequality for comparison of the theoretical value to a plurality of measured intervals. We revisit decades of pressure experiments on the $\text{bcc}\ensuremath{\leftrightarrow}\text{hcp…

Magneto-structural transformations via a solid-state nudged elastic band method: Application to iron under pressure.

The solid-state nudged elastic band method is extended to handle a non-conserved order parameter, in particular, magnetization, that couples to volume and leads to many observed effects in magnetic systems, and finds a bcc-hcp equilibrium coexistence pressure of 8.4 GPa.

Improved embedded-atom model potentials of Pb at high pressure: application to investigations of plasticity and phase transition under extreme conditions

Local stress relaxation mechanisms of crystals are a long-standing interest in the field of materials physics. Constantly encountered inelastic deformation mechanisms in metals under dynamic…

Lattice Instability during Solid-Solid Structural Transformations under a General Applied Stress Tensor: Example of Si  I→Si  II with Metallization.

These findings reveal novel, more practical synthesis routes for new or known high-pressure phases under predictable nonhydrostatic loading, where competition of instabilities can serve for phase selection rather than free energy minima used for equilibrium processing.

The field of high pressure phase transformations is critically compared with fields of phase transformations under normal pressure in steels and shape memory alloys, as well as plastic deformation of materials.

Thermodynamics and Equations of State of Iron to 350 GPa and 6000 K

Magnetism of Body‐Centered Cubic Fe‐Ni Alloys Under Pressure: Strain‐Enhanced Ferromagnetism at the Phase Transitions

We investigated the magnetism of body‐centered cubic (bcc) FeNi alloys (Fe92Ni08, Fe87Ni13, and Fe84Ni16) as a function of pressure at room temperature through the bcc to hexagonal closed packed…

Phase Stability of Iron Nitride Fe4N at High Pressure—Pressure-Dependent Evolution of Phase Equilibria in the Fe–N System

It is concluded that γ′-Fe4N, which is unstable with respect to other phases at 0 K (at any pressure), has to be entropically stabilised in order to occur as stable phase in the Fe–N system.
