What happens to the state of matter when we increase the pressure to magnitudes found in the inner core of our planet Earth? How do strong magnetic fields in the order of 105 T on magnetic white dwarfs change the thermodynamic behaviour of matter? And finally, what happens if we have the combined effects of high pressure and strong magnetic fields? We are using Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations to get insights into these questions. After an introduction into the theory of melting and simulation methods used, we will look into the applications to noble gases to get glimpses into their alien melting behaviour under extreme conditions.
