High pressure in chemistry: through diamond to high -temperature superconductors

This publication is intended for researchers, graduate students and senior students working or specializing in the field of inorganic synthesis, hard -body chemistry and inorganic materials. Information about the most recent achievements in experimental work on chemistry, performed using high -pressure techniques, methods for its creation, measurements and specific devices. More deeply general issues on this topic are discovered in the literature recommended at the end of the book, and more special ones in original articles, links to which are not specially given in this publication, since, according to the authors, the search for scientific information is an integral part of the process of teaching young scientific employees. In special cases (related to the latest or original areas of work or very vivid results), such links are given in the text of the presentation. It should be noted that due to a sharp increase in the last 7-10 years of the amount of work involving exposure to the substance of high pressure (in various variants, and in carbon chemistry especially increased after the deployment of graphene theme), the authors tried to limit themselves to consideration of only those The results that are of interest to their professional activity or most clearly demonstrate the fruitfulness of using this methodology in inorganic synthesis and material science.
The authors tried to give the text the most popular form so that the above scientific results were available to all those interested in this topic
