Recent studies demonstrated that structural and chemical transformations of materials can be triggered by combined pressure-photon excitation resulting in the formation of new materials either not acc
Even at zero temperature lattice of lithium remains far from static.In periodic table lithium is the first element immediately after helium and the lightest metal.
Many complex materials display an interesting interplay between structural and electronic instabilities,which can be studied effectively under applied pressure.
With the help of high brilliant synchrotron source and fast x-ray detector techniques,we are able to explore the dynamic properties of materials under extreme conditions to tens microsecond time frame
Rare earth trivalent manganites,belonging to R2O3-Mn2O3 systems with R = rare-earth elements,have been a playground for solid-state and materials chemists and physicists for decades.
Shock wave action of high temperature,high pressure and high strain rate lasting for very short time(~10-6 s)will cause a series of catastrophic changes of material chemical and physical properties,an
Olivine in the depleted peridotite layer,with its composition close to Mg2SiO4,may be subducted into the deep Earth along with the overlaying basaltic layer of the slabs in the subduction zones.
3rd generation light sources continue to be an essential tool for conducting X-ray diffraction/scattering experiments at high-pressures and simultaneous high and low temperatures to explore dynamics o
Recently,Bove et al.[1] have found a supporting evidence for the existence of concerted proton quantum tunneling along hydrogen bonds in ice Ih using neutron incoherent quasi-elastic scattering measur
