Abstract

Within the ASU MRSEC, we are using a combination of high pressure synthesis techniques (multi-anvil, piston cylinder), combined with in situ studies in diamond anvil cells, and ab initio calculations, to prepare a range of new materials at high pressure, and to study their physical properties under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. Work in progress includes experiments on nitrides, particularly glasses and crystalline materials based in the P3N5-HPN2-PON system, silicate and germanate perovskites and related vanadates and niobates, and high hardness materials in the B-C-N-0 system. Some of our recent results are presented.
