Accurate Prediction of the $α\to β$ Phase Transformation Temperature in Tin via Full Anharmonic Treatment

Predicting the $α\to β$ (grey-to-white) transition temperature in tin presents a longstanding challenge for atomistic simulations, with existing theoretical approaches over- or underestimating the experimental boundary (286 K) by up to s…

Predicting the $α\to β$ (grey-to-white) transition temperature in tin presents a longstanding challenge for atomistic simulations, with existing theoretical approaches over- or underestimating the experimental boundary (286 K) by up to several hundred Kelvin. In this work, we…
