Simulation of the phase transition of graphite to the diamond-like $LA$3 phase
V. A. Greshnyakov, E. A. Belenkov Chelyabinsk State University
Abstract:
The phase transition of graphite to a diamond-like $LA$3 phase is simulated by the methods of the density functional theory (DFT). The calculations are performed in the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). It is found that the structural transformation must occur at a pressure of 60 or 74 GPa according to calculations based on the DFT–LDA and DFT–GGA, respectively. The height of the potential barrier separating the structural state corresponding to the $LA$3 phase from the state corresponding to graphite exceeds 0.13 eV/atom. This indicates the possibility of stable existence of the diamond-like $LA$3 phase under standard conditions.
