Two hydrogen-rich materials, H 3 S and LaH 10, synthesized at megabar pressures, have
revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics providing the first glimpse to the …

Pressure is a fundamental thermodynamic variable that can be used to control the properties
of materials, because it reduces interatomic distances and profoundly modifies electronic …

At the 26th AIRAPT conference in 2017, a task group was formed to work on an International
Practical Pressure Scale (IPPS). This report summarizes the activities of the task group …

Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its
application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The …

Thanks to the development of experimental high-pressure techniques and methods for
crystal-structure prediction based on quantum mechanics, in the past decade, numerous …

The thermal conductivities of materials are extremely important for many practical
applications, such as in understanding the thermal balance and history of the Earth, energy …

Van der Waals (vdW) assembly of low-dimensional materials has proven the capability of
creating structures with on-demand properties. It is predicted that the vdW encapsulation can …

Theoretical modelling predicts very unusual structures and properties of materials at
extreme pressure and temperature conditions,. Hitherto, their synthesis and investigation …

Over the past 60 years, the diamond anvil cell (DAC) has been developed into a widespread
high static pressure device. The adaptation of laboratory and synchrotron analytical …

The goal of this work is to report a systematic and balanced review of the progress made in
recent years on the high-pressure behavior of iodates, a group of materials with multiple …
