Special Issue Information
The application of pressure has opened up a whole new era of materials synthesis. Pressure allows precise tuning of the interatomic distance—a fundamental parameter that can drastically alter the electronic structure, orbital occupation and all other interatomic interactions that determine the properties of materials. Therefore, the application of pressure provides a tunable synthetic parameter for promoting reactivity, even between elements that do not react with each other at ambient pressure, and it has become a useful tool in the search for new solid-state materials. Today, a large variety of new materials has been synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions using diamond anvil cells and large volume apparatus. These new materials exhibit novel properties and have potential applications in Earth Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, and Materials Science. This Special Issue on high-pressure materials synthesis will emphasize recent discoveries and advances in experimental and theoretical research, the state-of-the-art high-pressure synthesis and characterization techniques, and the potential impact of high-pressure materials synthesis on fundamental scientific research as well as industrial applications.
