Abstract
We demonstrate the topological equivalence of the phase diagrams of molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W), Group 6B partners in the periodic table. The phase digram of Mo to 800 GPa from our earlier work is now extended to 2000 GPa. The phase diagram of W to 2500 GPa is obtained using a comprehensive ab initio approach that includes (i) the calculation of the

free energies (enthalpies) of different solid structures, (ii) the quantum molecular dynamics simulation of the melting curves of different solid structures, (iii) the derivation of the analytic form for the solid–solid phase transition boundary, and (iv) the simulations of the solidification of liquid W into the final solid states on both sides of the solid–solid phase transition boundary in order to confirm the corresponding analytic form. For both Mo and W, there are two solid structures confirmed to be present on their phase diagrams, the ambient body-centered cubic (bcc) and the high-pressure double hexagonal close-packed (dhcp), such that at

the bcc–dhcp transition occurs at 660 GPa in Mo and 1060 GPa in W. In either case, the transition boundary has a positive slope
