Pressure alters the physical, chemical, and electronic properties of matter. By compressing a material between two opposing brilliant cut diamonds, the diamond anvil cell (DAC) enables tabletop experiments to reach pressures more than a million times atmospheric pressure. Since its development over half a century ago, the DAC has allowed experimenters to directly access pressure as a thermodynamic tuning parameter and has had a dramatic impact on quantum science, chemistry, and materials physics. Among those impacts, a tremendous amount of recent attention has focused on the discovery of superconductivity in a class of hydrogen-based materials. When compressed to megabar pressures, the so-called super-hydrides are believed to superconduct at temperatures near room temperature, and their study has led to a nascent field that is equal parts exciting and controversial. Part of the controversy stems from the nature of the tool itself: Especially at high pressures, extracting local information from inside a diamond anvil cell is tremendously challenging.
In this webinar, attendees will learn how to... Continue Reading!
