AbstractWe propose an explicit scheme to include the fugacity of nitrogen in computations of phase diagrams of nitride compounds at high-temperature/high-pressure conditions. The assessment is based on available thermochemical data and two kind of extrapolating functions to provide upper and lower boundary for the fugacity coefficient as a funtion of p and T. The procedure is applied to investigate the synthesis of novel nitrides of tantalum, tungsten, and platinum. The combination of first-principle and thermochemical calculations let us predict the synthesis of a new high-pressure phase of Ta3N5 at about 27 GPa. Synthesis of WN2 becomes feasible at about 45 GPa. We furthermore explain why the synthesis of the noble metal subnitride, PtN2, occurs at about 40 GPa, and why PtN is not accessible in high-pressure experiments.

A combination of first-principle and thermochemical calculations is applied to compute the phase diagrams of rhenium-nitrogen and of ruthenium-nitrogen at elevated temperature and high pressure. We augment total energy calculations with our approach to treat the nitrogen fugacity at high pressures. We predict a sequential nitridation of Re at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions. At 3000 K, ReN will form from Re and nitrogen at about 32 GPa. A ReN2 with CoSb2-type structure may be achieved at pressures exceeding 50 GPa at this temperature. Marcasite-type RuN2 will be attainable at 3000 K at pressures above 30 GPa by reacting Ru with nitrogen.

Invigorated by the high temperature superconductivity in some binary hydrogen-dominated compounds, we systematically explored high-pressure phase diagrams and superconductivity of a ternary Mg–Ge–H system usingab initiomethods.

AbstractThe interplay among magnetism, electronic nematicity, and superconductivity is the key issue in strongly correlated materials including iron-based, cuprate, and heavy-fermion superconductors. Magnetic fluctuations have been widely discussed as a pairing mechanism of unconventional superconductivity, but recent theory predicts that quantum fluctuations of nematic order may also promote high-temperature superconductivity. This has been studied in FeSe1−xSx superconductors exhibiting nonmagnetic nematic and pressure-induced antiferromagnetic orders, but its abrupt suppression of superconductivity at the nematic end point leaves the nematic-fluctuation driven superconductivity unconfirmed. Here we report on systematic studies of high-pressure phase diagrams up to 8 GPa in high-quality single crystals of FeSe1−xTex. When Te composition x(Te) becomes larger than 0.1, the high-pressure magnetic order disappears, whereas the pressure-induced superconducting dome near the nematic end point is continuously found up to x(Te) ≈ 0.5. In contrast to FeSe1−xSx, enhanced superconductivity in FeSe1−xTex does not correlate with magnetism but with the suppression of nematicity, highlighting the paramount role of nonmagnetic nematic fluctuations for high-temperature superconductivity in this system.

AbstractWe apply our procedure of including nitrogen fugacity into thermochemical calculations to compute phase diagrams in the rhenium-nitrogen and ruthenium-nitrogen systems. The combination of first-principle and thermochemical calculations let us predict the sequential nitridation of Re at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions. At 3000 K, Re will react with nitrogen at about 32 GPa yielding ReN. Formation of ReN2 with CoSb2-type structure is predicted for pressures exceeding 50 GPa at this temperature. The recently proposed marcasite-type RuN2 will be attainable at 3000 K at pressures above 30 GPa from a mixture of Ru and RuN2.
