Pressure profoundly alters all states of matter. The symbiotic development of ultrahigh-
pressure diamond anvil cells, to compress samples to sustainable multi-megabar pressures; …

This chapter reviews nonresonant, meV-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS), as applied
to the measurement of atomic dynamics of crystalline materials. It, in conjunction with a …

High-entropy alloys, near-equiatomic solid solutions of five or more elements, represent a
new strategy for the design of materials with properties superior to those of conventional …

A low water/cement ratio (w/c= 0.20) hydrated Portland cement paste was analyzed by grid‐
indentation coupled with ex situ scanning electron microscope‐energy‐dispersive X‐ray …

Natural composite materials are highly heterogeneous porous materials, with porosities that
manifest themselves at scales much below the macroscale of engineering applications. A …

We performed room-temperature sound velocity and density measurements on a
polycrystalline alloy, Fe0. 89Ni0. 04Si0. 07, in the hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase up …

Seismic discontinuities in Earth typically arise from structural, chemical, or temperature
variations with increasing depth. The pressure-induced iron spin state transition in the lower …

With an annual per capita consumption of one cubic meter, concrete is the most
manufactured material on Earth. But concrete subject to sustained load creeps, like chewing …

Carbon is a plausible light element candidate in the Earth's core owing to its cosmic
abundance and its chemical affinity for iron. Recent experimental studies on Fe‐C phase …

We measured compressional sound velocities of Fe3C cohenite at high pressure by
inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS). We show that Fe3C follows Birch's law for the longitudinal …
