Thermodynamics and mechanism of the B1-B2 phase transition in group-I halides and group-II oxides

We study the thermodynamics, mechanism, and kinetic aspects of the B1-B2 phase transition in alkali halides and alkaline-earth oxides, using both two-body potentials and first-principles periodic Hartree-Fock theory, including a posteriori correlation corrections and self-consistent density function...
