At ambient pressure, Li3PS4 shows successive structural transitions from γ-type to β-type and from β-type to α type with increasing temperature, as is well established. In this study, an evolutionary algorithm successfully predicted the γ-type crystal structure at ambient pressure and further predicted a possible stable δ-type crystal structures under high pressure. The stability of the obtained structures is examined in terms of both static and dynamic stability by first-principles calculations. In situ X-ray diffraction using a synchrotron radiation revealed that the high-pressure phase is the predicted δ-Li3PS4 phase.}, pages = {015008-1--015008-9}, title = {Novel stable structure of Li3PS4 predicted by evolutionary algorithm under high-pressure}, volume = {8}, year = {2018}, yomi = {イイクボ, サトシ and カワノ, ショウヤ} }
