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.
The most recent research covers not only elements and stoichiometric compounds, but also binary, ternary, and multicomponent alloys, and so this book covers an extended range of substances. The properties of 890 binary systems and a further 1153 pseudobinary and ternary systems are summarized, and accompanied by an extensive bibliography. The data includes information on the solubility of components in solid solutions, melting, and first- and second-order phase transformations in alloys and stoichiometric compounds.

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.
