One widely used method to measure dynamic properties of materilas is shock compression by planar impact,which can produce megabar pressure in materials.
Ceramics are strong,but their low fracture toughness prevents extended engineering applications.In particular,boron carbide(B4C),the third hardest material in nature,has not been incorporated into com
Of all the thermodynamic variables,our theoretical methods have the greatest control over pressure.The foundation of modern density functional based total energy methods rests on early studies on the
As an important method to synthesize new materials and a clean way to adjust the lattice constants,pressure has known to be a powerful tool to study the physical properties of materials.
Samples of natural granulite were deformed in a gas medium apparatus to evaluate the flow strength of the lower crust.The samples were collected at Wayaokou village,Huaian,Hebei province,China.
Experiments have been carried out to investigate the rheological contrast between olivine and garnet,two principal components of the subducted lithosphere,at high temperatures(1373-1573 K)and high pre
