High pressure research at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility has always played a central role.Today,almost 50 %of the beamlines are engaged in high pressure research.in various fieldsfrom ea
Because static high pressure condition in laboratories is achieved at the expense of diminishing sample volumes,synchrotron sources with high-brilliance,high-energy,low-emittance provide powerful micr
Seismological observations and mineral physics data strongly indicated that the Earths core consists of iron-nickel alloy containing a certain amount of light elements.
Two binary phases in the system Hf-O have been synthesized at pressures between 12 and 34 GPa and at temperatures up to 3000 K by reacting Hf with HfO2 using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell.
We are performing fist-principles sludies of transport propcrties.equaiions of state.and phase equilibrium in solid and fluid iron and iron-hydrogen mixtures under extreme conditions using density fun
Strong shock wave compression on crystals and ceramics produces elastic-plastic deformation,multiple phase transformation,and even melting,that would generate inhomogeneous,fluid-like and nonequilibri
Iron is by far the most abundant transition metal in the solar system and in the Earths interior.Its extreme abundance and unique electronic states have shaped the evolution of the planet.
The high-pressure reactivity of molecular systems usually concerns with the chemical transformation in a homogeneous condensed phase.More precisely,the density necessary for inducing a chemical change
Pressure-induced electronic bonding transitions in crystalline and amorphous oxides with low-z elements(e.g.,Si,O,B,C)at mega-bar pressure condition is critical in clarifying the chemical and physical
