Structures and Dynamics of Solids Under High Pressures and other Extreme Conditions

结构、动力学、相变、化学反应和 高压下凝聚系统的电子性质， 其他极端条件将使用以下技术进行研究， 如拉曼光谱和X射线衍射。 系统被 研究包括：氧气，氮气和 硫和氧/氮的混合物，一氧化碳/氮， 氧/氩;有机和聚合物导电结构 材料.简单芳族化合物的热不稳定性和光不稳定性 分子在中等压力下。 此外，内部加热 用于高压下X射线衍射研究的金刚石压砧单元 将被开发。

The structure, dynamics, phase transitions, chemical reactions and electronic properties of condensed systems at high pressures and other extreme conditions will be investigated using techniques such as Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. Systems to be investigated include: phase equilibria of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, and mixtures of oxygen/nitrogen, carbon monoxide/nitrogen, oxygen/argon; structures of organic and polymeric conducting materials; thermal- and photo-instabilities of simple aromatic molecules at moderate pressures. In addition, internally heated diamond-anvil cells for x-ray diffraction studies at high pressures will be developed.
