The high-pressure melting curve of CaO

Shell-model molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to investigate the melting of the major Earth-forming mineral CaO at elevated temperatures and high pressures, based on thermal instability analysis. The interatomic potential is taken to be the sum of effective pair-wise additive Coulomb, van der Waals attraction, and repulsive interactions. It is shown that the simulated molar volume of CaO is successful in reproducing recent experimental data and our DFT-GGA calculations up to the core–mantle boundary pressure of 135 GPa. The pressure dependence of the simulated high pressure melting temperature of CaO is in good agreement with the results obtained from the Lindemann melting equation at a pressure of below 7 GPa. The extrapolated melting temperatures are in good agreement with the results obtained from Wang’s empirical model up to 60 GPa. The predicted high pressure melting curve, being very steep at lower pressures, rapidly flattens on increasing pressure. The thermodynamic properties of the rocksalt phase of CaO are summarized in the 0–135 GPa pressure range and for temperatures up to 9300 K.     

Molecular dynamics study for the melting curve of MgO at high pressure

Shell-model molecular dynamics method is used to study the melting temperatures of MgO at elevated temperatures and high pressures using interaction potentials. Equations of state for MgO simulated by molecular dynamics are in good agreement with available experimental data. The pressure dependence of the melting curve of MgO has been calculated. The surface melting and superheating are considered in the correction of experimental data and the calculated values, respectively. The results of corrections are compared with those of previous work. The corrected melting temperature of MgO is consistent with corrected experimental measurements. The melting temperature of MgO up to 140GPa is calculated.     

Melting of lithium hydride under pressure

We have computed the melting line of lithium hydride up to 200 GPa using the two-phase simulation technique coupled with first-principles molecular dynamics. Our predicted melting temperature at high pressures varies slowly with compression, ranging from 2000 to 2450 K at 50-200 GPa pressures. The compressed fluid close to the melting line retains the ionic character of the low pressure molten state, while at higher temperatures dynamical hydrogen clustering processes are observed, which are accompanied by changes in the electronic structure.     

Properties of MgO at high pressures: Shell-model molecular dynamics simulation

Shell-model molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has been performed to investigate the melting of the major Earth-forming mineral: periclase (MgO), at elevated temperatures and high pressures, based on the thermal instability analysis. The interatomic potential is taken to be the sum of pair-wise additive Coulomb, van der Waals attraction, and repulsive interactions. The MD simulation with selected Lewis–Catlow (LC) potential parameters is found to be very successful in describing the melting behavior for MgO, by taking account of the overheating of a crystalline solid at ambient pressure. The thermodynamic melting curve is estimated on the basis of the thermal instability MD simulations and compared with the available experimental data and other theoretical results in the pressure ranges 0–150 GPa. Our simulated melting curve of MgO is consistent with results obtained from Lindemann melting equation and two-phase simulated data at constant pressure by Belonoshko and Dubrovinsky, in the pressure below 20 GPa. The extrapolated melting temperatures in the lower mantle are in good agreement with the results obtained from Wang's empirical model up to 100 GPa. Compared with experimental measurements, our results are substantially higher than that determined by Zerr and Boehler, and the discrepancy between DAC and MD melting temperatures may be well explained with different melting mechanisms. Meanwhile, the radial distribution functions (RDFs) of Mg–Mg, O–Mg, and O–O ion pairs near the melting temperature have been investigated.     

Application of shell model in molecular dynamics simulation to MgO

The P－V－T equation of state of MgO has been simulated under high pressure and elevated temperature using the molecular dynamics (MD) method with the breathing shell model (BSM). It is found that the MD simulation with BSM is very successful in reproducing accurately the measured molar volumes of MgO over a wide range of temperature and pressure. In addition, the MD simulation reproduces accurately the measured volume compression data of MgO up to 100GPa at 300K. It is demonstrated that the MD simulated P－V－T equation of state of MgO could be applied as a useful internal pressure calibration standard at elevated temperatures and high pressures.

Isothermal bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative of NaCl at high pressure and high temperature

The isothermal bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative of NaCl are investigated using the classical molecular dynamics method and the quasi-harmonic Debye model.To ensure faithful molecular dynamics simulations,two types of potentials,the shell-model(SM) potential and the two-body rigid-ion Born-Mayer-Huggins-Fumi-Tosi(BMHFT) potential,are fully tested.Compared with the SM potential based simulation,the molecular dynamics simulation with the BMHFT potential is very successful in reproducing accurately the measured bulk modulus of NaCl.Particular attention is paid to the prediction of the isothermal bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative using the reliable potential and to the comparison of the SM and the BMHFT potentials based molecular dynamics simulations with the quasi-harmonic Debye model.The properties of NaCl in the pressure range of 0-30 GPa at temperatures up to the melting temperature of 1050 K are investigated.
