Focus Series on High Pressure Semi & Superconductor Physics

The popular use of hydrostatic pressure in material science is partly due to the fact that high pressure techniques offer the possibility to vary interatomic and intermolecular distances in a controlled way, having large impact on the structural and consequently the electronic, optical, vibrational, magnetic properties, etc. The development of the gasketed diamond anvil cell (DAC) into a powerful tool for different kinds of measurements at hydrostatic pressures in the range from 0.1 to 300 GPa has opened new possibilities for studying the physics and chemistry of materials under extreme conditions. This Focus Series will convene novel experimental as well as theoretical work in research areas dealing with the application of high pressure and other forms of uniform stress to study the behavior of both semiconductors and superconductors as well as related nanostructures.
