The Energy Frontier Research in Extreme Environments Center (EFree) was established to accelerate the discovery and synthesis of kinetically stabilized, energy-related materials using extreme conditions. Partners in this Carnegie-led center include world-leading groups in five universities—Caltech...
The Geophysical Laboratory has made important advances in the growth of diamond by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Methods have been developed to produce single-crystal diamond at low pressure having a broad range of properties.
The High Pressure Collaborative Access Team (HPCAT) was established to advance cutting-edge, multidisciplinary, high-pressure science and technology using synchrotron radiation at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois.
The integrated HPCAT facility has...
Ronald Cohen primarily studies materials through first principles research—computational methods that begin with the most fundamental properties of a system, such as the nuclear charges of atoms, and then calculate what happens to a material under different conditions, such as pressure and...
Scientists simulate the high pressures and temperatures of planetary interiors to measure their physical properties. Yingwei Fei studies the composition and structure of planetary interiors with high-pressure instrumentation including the multianvil apparatus, the piston cylinder, and the diamond...
Timothy Strobel subjects materials to high-pressures to understand chemical processes and interactions, and to create new, advanced energy-related materials.
For instance, silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and a mainstay of the electronics industry. But normal...
