摘要: The role of temperature and anisotropy the applied load in pressure-induced transformations alpha-cristobalite is investigated by means first principles molecular dynamics combined with metadynamics algorithm for study solid-solid phase transitions. We reproduce transition to alpha-PbO2 as found experiments we observe that paths are qualitatively different yield products when a nonhydrostatic applied, giving rise new class metastable structures mixed tetrahedral octahedral coordination.
