Advances in the accuracy and efficiency of first-principles electronic structure calculations have allowed detailed studies of the energetics of materials under high pressures. At the same time, improvements in the resolution of powder x-ray diffraction experiments and more sophisticated methods of data analysis have revealed the existence of many new and unexpected high-pressure phases. The most complete set of theoretical and experimental data obtained to date is for the group-IVA elements and the group-IIIA-VA and IIB-VIA compounds. Here the authors review the currently known structures and high-pressure behavior of these materials and the theoretical work that has been done on them. The capabilities of modern first-principles methods are illustrated by a full comparison with the experimental data.
