High-Pressure Physics

With contributions from an international group of leading researchers, this accessible book examines experimental and theoretical techniques and computational methods in high-pressure physics. Highlighting applications in a range of physics disciplines-from novel materials synthesis to planetary interiors-it cuts across many areas and provides a solid grounding in techniques and applications. The authors focus on scientific challenges in condensed matter under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature, synthesis and characterization of novel materials, and state-of-the-art experimental facilities and technologies.
