EPJB - Solids under pressure

Constant-pressure molecular dynamics simulations allow the study of systems where external pressure is a driving force for a structural transformation.

In this colloquium paper in EPJB, Roman Martoňák reviews various approaches to computer simulations of pressure-induced structural transformations in various kinds of solids with a focus on the recent developments in simulation methodology, such as metadynamics and transition path sampling applicable to the study of structural phase transitions in crystals. The application of the techniques to bulk and finite systems is illustrated by several examples. The author argues that computer simulations nowadays provide a solid route to study structural transformations, and are capable not only to complement experiments, but have also a predictive power, especially when ab initio techniques are used.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
