High pressure studies of sc based ternary system: a DFT study

First-principles calculations have been carried out to study the electronic structure, optical properties and high-pressure structural phase transitions of rarely studied Sc2AlB6 compounds. Ground state structure calculations reveal the compound to be a non-magnetic material with Hexa, Penta, and Hepta boron layers sandwiched between metal …

Introduction to High-Pressure Science | SpringerLink

Probably the most popular laboratory high-pressure device for ex situ high-pressure studies is a large volume press (see chapter 8 by Wang). Ex situ experiments work quite well for studies of transformations such as chemical reactions or reconstructive structural phase transitions that occur during heating at high pressure, but do not revert ...

Ultra High Pressure Hydrogen Studies

Dissertations. Ultra High Pressure Hydrogen Studies.

Hydrogen has been called the fuel of the future, and as it's non- renewable counterparts become scarce the economic viability of hydrogen gains traction. The potential of hydrogen is marked by its high mass specific energy density and wide applicability as a fuel in fuel cell vehicles ...

High-pressure structural studies of energetic materials

High-pressure structural studies of energetic materials. 1. The detonation velocity is defined as the velocity of the shockwave passing through the detonated material. 2. Fluorinert is a mixture of perfluorinated hydrocarbons supplied by 3M.

High-Pressure Single-Molecule Studies on Non-canonical

Hence, previously conducted high-pressure studies on nucleic acids found that long canonical B-DNA duplexes are generally rather pressure stable at ambient temperature (Macgregor 1998; Girard et al. 2007). Girard et al. observed only a minor distortion of the double helix upon pressure perturbation (Girard et al. 2007). The level …

High-pressure studies on heavy fermion systems

Heavy fermion systems usually refer to certain intermetallic compounds containing lanthanide (Ce, Yb, Pr, etc.) or actinide (U, Pu, Np, etc.) elements, where the localized electrons in partially filled 4f or 5f orbits form a periodic lattice and are strongly hybridized with the conduction electrons via the Kondo effect.

High pressure studies of the erbium–hydrogen system

High-pressure X-ray diffraction investigations up to 25 GPa using diamond anvil cell techniques (DAC) have been carried out on erbium and a series of erbium hydrides. The equations of state have been evaluated for ErH 1.95, ErH 2.091 (in the β-phase) and for γ-ErH 3. For comparison, the compressibility of pure erbium metal has …

Material Studies at High Pressure

Studies at high pressure and low temperature have helped in finding new superconductors [30] with higher Tc or for studying magnetic ordering in materials [31]. The highest Tc cuprate superconductor (HgBa 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 8, Tc = 135K) found so far has been obtained at a pressure of 30 GPa [32].

High Blood Pressure: Prevention, Treatment and Research

Diastolic pressure is the pressure against the arteries between heartbeats, as the heart relaxes. The unit of measurement is in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Optimal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg (referred to as "120 over 80") or below. High blood pressure is defined for adults as systolic pressure above 140 or diastolic pressure above 90.

High-pressure studies of the hydrogen bond networks in molecular

Distortion of hydrogen bonds can be induced very easily, not only by modifying the crystalline environment, but also by external action (change in temperature or pressure). Variable-temperature studies of hydrogen bonds are quite common. They help to study the nature of the bonds themselves (for example, to estimate the bond energies …
