    Release dynamics of nanodiamonds created by laser-driven shock-compression of polyethylene terephthalate

    Laser-driven dynamic compression experiments of plastic materials have found surprisingly fast formation of nanodiamonds (ND) via X-ray probing. This mechanism is relevant for planetary models, but could also ...

    Thermodynamics of diamond formation from hydrocarbon mixtures in planets

    Hydrocarbon mixtures are extremely abundant in the Universe, and diamond formation from them can play a crucial role in sha** the interior structure and evolution of planets. With first-principles accuracy, ...

    Thermodynamics of high-pressure ice phases explored with atomistic simulations

    Most experimentally known high-pressure ice phases have a body-centred cubic (bcc) oxygen lattice. Our large-scale molecular-dynamics simulations with a machine-learning potential indicate that, amongst these ...

    Phase behaviours of superionic water at planetary conditions

    Most water in the Universe may be superionic, and its thermodynamic and transport properties are crucial for planetary science but difficult to probe experimentally or theoretically. We use machine learning an...
