Topic: Solid State I: High Pressures, High Temperatures and Confined Dimensions


image 2
Contemporary solid state and materials chemistry now has in its repertoire various 'extreme conditions' environments facilitating new synthesis routes and unprecedented insights into the behaviour, structure and properties of materials held at high pressure-high temperature conditions, in confined dimensions and under large chemical, electrical or magnetic field gradients.

  • High P-T synthesis and in situ structural characterisation
  • Materials synthesised in confined dimensions and under the influence of large chemical potential gradients
  • Ultrahard materials and containerless levitation 
  • Highly chemically active synthesis environments
  • Syntheses using precursors
  • Shock syntheses
