Recently it has become possible to selectively grow micro-and nano-crystalline diamond micro-anvils on brilliant cut [100] diamond anvils employed in high pressure diamond anvil cell experiments [1,2]
Recent developments in crystal structure prediction,in particular,the powerful evolutionary algorithm USPEX [1,2],enable reliable prediction of stable compounds formed by given elements.
The constraints on the composition of Earths core come from seismic observations and cosmochemical data.High-pressure experiments provide crucial laboratory data necessary to interpret these observati
Metastable materials,including amorphous material,nanomaterial and quasicrystal,have long stimulated interest because many of the most technologically important and useful materials are metastable.
Superconductivity above 200 K was recently reported in the highly compressed hydrogen sulfide(H2S)[1].The crystal structure of the superconductor was studied by using the synchrotron x-ray diffraction
Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are of great interest as promising materials for potential applications in solar cells and LEDs,due to their high carrier mobility,tunable spectral absorption rang
Hydrous magnesium pyrope(Mg3Al2Si3O12)was synthesized at pressures from 4 to 9 GPa and temperature of 1000℃ under water saturated condition.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)was used to mea
Over the past decade,many calculations have disclosed a novel view on the chemical combination of hydrogen with metals: hydrogen solubility in metals should drastically increase under pressure; Polyhy
The polarization and energy dependence of x-ray absorption and scattering from magnetic materials at electronic resonances allows probing magnetic order with element and orbital specificity.
