High-pressure science has undergone a revolution in the last 15
years. The development of intense new x-ray and neutron sources,
improved detectors, new instrumentation, greatly increased
computation power, and advanced computational algorithms have
enabled researchers to determine the behavior of matter at static
pressures in excess of 400 GPa. Shock-wave techniques have allowed
access to the experimental pressure-temperature range beyond 1 TPa
and 10,000 K. High-Pressure Physics introduces the current state of
the art in this field. Based on lectures presented by leading
researchers at the 63rd Scottish Universities Summer School in
Physics, the book summarizes the latest experimental and
theoretical techniques. Highlighting applications in a range of
physics disciplines-from novel materials synthesis to planetary
interiors-this book cuts across many areas and supplies a solid
grounding in high-pressure physics. Chapters cover a wide array of
topics and techniques, including: High-pressure devices The design
of pressure cells Electrical transport experiments The fabrication
process for customizing diamond anvils Equations of state (EOS) for
solids in a range of pressures and temperatures Crystallography,
optical spectroscopy, and inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS)
techniques Magnetism in solids The internal structure of Earth and
other planets Measurement and control of temperature in
high-pressure experiments Solid state chemistry and materials
research at high pressure Liquids and glasses The study of hydrogen
at high density A resource for graduate students and young
researchers, this accessible reference provides an overview of key
research areas and applications in high-pressure physics.
