As laboratories replace heavy hydraulic presses and bulky high-pressure chambers with miniature diamond anvils, traditional heaters with laser heating, and continue to improve methods of shock compression, there has been considerable new data obtained from the high-pressure, high-temperature modification of pure elements. The dense metallic modification of elements shows the potential for achieving superconductivity akin to theoretical predictions. Phase Transformations of Elements Under High Pressure contains the latest theoretical and experimental information on nearly 100 elements, including first-and second-phase transitions, melting lines, crystal structures of stable and metastable phases, stability of polymorphic modifications, and other useful properties and data. It emphasizes features such as changes in the liquid state, amorphization, and metallization, and provides temperature-pressure diagrams for every element. The book also describes the transitions of polymeric forms of fullerene, crystal modifications of elements stable under high pressures, and provides data that confirms their superconducting and magnetic properties. This handbook will be a lasting reference for scientists in a broad range of disciplines, including solid-state physics, chemistry, crystallography, mineralogy, and materials science.
This is the first book to classify and systematize the available
data on the behavior of binary alloys under high pressure. Despite
the fact that there is a strong correlation between
temperature-composition (T-C) phase diagrams at normal pressure and
three- dimensional temperature-composition-pressure (T-C-P)
diagrams, many material scientists seldom refer to the (T-C-P)
diagrams, just as many high pressure researchers often ignore the
data obtained at normal pressure. This book aims to bridge the gap
between data obtained at high pressure and that obtained at normal
pressure.
Comprising two volumes, this publication classifies and systematizes data on phase transformations of 2263 elements and compounds under high pressure (at least 0.1 GPa). It includes data on new materials and compounds synthesized under high pressure. The book devotes a separate paragraphs to each compound with a bibliography that includes information on the behaviour of the material under normal pressure. It makes a critical analysis of experimental data on melting, first- and second-order phase transitions, crystal structures and phase diagrams.
