Description

Pressure is next to temperature the key thermodynamic parameter for the exploration of condensed matter. In this talk I will survey the state of the art of high pressure neutron scattering, covering both diffraction and inelastic scattering. I will focus on more recent methods able to reach pressures of 10 GPa and beyond, relevant for research on hard condensed matter. My talk will be largely technical, with an emphasis on the various constraints, and I will give recommendations for potential applications at MLZ.
