First-principles high pressure structure searching, longitudinal-transverse mode coupling and absence of simple cubic phase in sulfur

We use first-principles density functional theory to conduct an extensive structure search using the AIRSS package for elemental sulfur in the range 50–550 GPa. We then obtain the low-temperature phase diagram of sulfur in the same pressure range, including vibrational effects through the harmonic a...
