Synthesis of FeSiO₃ Pyroxene (Ferrosilite) at High Pressures

Synthesis of sodium polyhydrides at high pressures

The only known compound of sodium and hydrogen is archetypal ionic NaH. Application of high pressure is known to promote states with higher atomic coordination, but extensive searches for polyhydrides with unusual stoichiometry have had only limited success in spite of several theoretical predictions. Here we report the first observation of the formation of polyhydrides of Na (NaH3 and NaH7) ab...

Adsorption at High Pressures

Plasma interferometry at high pressures

A general formulation for the measurement of plasma density and effective collision frequency for lowly as well as highly, collisional plasmas using millimeter wave interferometry is presented. In the presence of high density and collisionality at high gas pressures where the collision frequency ~n! is of the order of both the plasma (vp) and the wave frequency of the millimeter wave ~v! (n ;v ...

Performance of Cubic Eos at High Pressures

Cet article prŽsente une Žvaluation des performances des Žquations d'Žtats (EoS) cubiques pour la prŽvision des comportements de phases des mŽlanges hyperbares. Il met en Žvidence un certain nombre de problmes auxquels il devrait tre rŽpondu d'une manire coopŽrative.

Melting of Tin at High Pressures

Introduction Information about the physical properties of materials at high pressures and temperatures is important for advancing our understanding of planetary interiors. Determining the melting curves of materials has attracted much interest in the planetary sciences. For example, the pressure dependencies of the melting curve and viscosity have been linked [1]. Furthermore, the accurate dete...
