Abstract We present Microsoft Excel spreadsheets for calculation of thermodynamic
functions and PVT properties of MgO, diamond and 9 metals, Al, Cu, Ag, Au, Pt, Nb, Ta, Mo …

Our understanding of the Earth's interior strongly depends on the physical and chemical
properties of the Earth's constituent materials, which have been determined using high …

The lithium–palladium and lithium–palladium–hydrogen systems are investigated at high
pressures at and above room temperature. Two novel lithium–palladium compounds are …

X-ray diffraction measurements under laser-driven dynamic compression now allow us to
investigate the atomic structure of matter at TPa pressures and thousands of degree …

The melting properties of W at high pressure regime are investigated theoretically by the
statistical moment method. The two basic single-phase approaches we use are the …
