Description

First-principles plane-wave pseudopotential approaches were used to investigate the structural phase transition of As from the rhombohedral structure to the simple cubic (sc) one under high pressure at the transition pressure of 22 GPa, which is also found to be accompanied by a volume reduction of 0.8%. The detailed structural changes during the phase transition were analyzed
