Pressure and temperature influence all properties of a chemical system. And determine the
fate of a chemical reaction. Gases—and phase and chemical equilibria involving gaseous …

In this critical review I describe fascinating experimental and theoretical advances in 'noble
gas' chemistry during the last twenty years, and have taken a somewhat unexpected course …

Compression versus pressure at ambient temperature has been measured for tantalum,
gold, and platinum to 94 GPa and for aluminum, copper, and tungsten to 153 GPa, in a …

Iron is thought to be the main constituent of the Earth's core, and considerable efforts,,,,,,,,,,,,
have therefore been made to understand its properties at high pressure and temperature …

The melting curve of Mg, Mn, Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd, Al, In, and Pb has been measured up to 12
GPa using a Bridgman-type cell. Melting at high-pressure was identified detecting …

Dynamic high pressure is 1 GPa (10 kbar) or greater with a rise time and a duration ranging
from 1 ps (10− 12 s) to 1 µs (10− 6 s). Today it is possible in a laboratory to achieve …

Contrary to continuous phase transitions, where renormalization group theory provides a
general framework, for discontinuous phase transitions such a framework seems to be …

Room temperature angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction measurements on solid Ar up to 114
GPa reveal evidence of a structural phase transformation after stress relaxation by laser …

The insulator to metal transition in solid hydrogen was predicted over 70 years ago but the
demonstration of this transition remains a scientific challenge. In this regard, a peak in the …

The high-pressure and high-temperature phase diagram of Ta has been studied in a laser-
heated diamond-anvil cell (DAC) using x-ray diffraction measurements up to 52 GPa and …
