Fig. 15: Graphite–diamond phase transition of EDIP.

Nested sampling results at 20 GPa, using 16 atoms and the EDIP potential. Top panel: density of individual configurations sampled during NS, symbols are coloured by the average Q4 bond order parameter of the configuration. Middle panel: Gibbs free-energy difference compared to the diamond phase in three parallel runs. Configurations were associated with basins using the number density and the bond order parameter. Bottom panel: Heat capacity curves of the three parallel runs. Vertical grey lines show the melting temperature, Tm and the solid-solid transition between the diamond and graphite phases, TDG.
