Recently we are witnessing the boom of high-pressure science and technology from a small
niche field to becoming a major dimension in physical sciences. One of the most important …

Seismic anisotropy has been found in many regions of the Earth's interior. Its presence in the
Earth's crust has been known since the 19th century, and is due in part to the alignment of …

The far-field high-energy diffraction microscopy technique is presented in the context of high-
energy synchrotron x-ray diffraction. For each grain in an illuminated polycrystalline volume …

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 …

Abstract La (Fe, Si) 13-based alloys are considered to be one of the most promising
magnetocaloric materials for solid state cooling. However, the intrinsic brittleness of NaZn 13 …

The extreme response of polycrystalline iron at high pressures and high strain rates is
revealed by means of high-power laser pulses. The compression portion of the pulse …

Iron α↔ ε, α→ γ, and γ→ ε transformations have been characterized in diamond anvil cells
under hydrostatic compression conditions. In situ x-ray diffraction of single or oligocrystals …

The diamond anvil cell is a fundamental tool for investigating properties under extreme
conditions. However, our knowledge of material behavior under high pressure has been …

The α-Fe↔ ε-Fe pressure-induced transformation under pure hydrostatic static compression
has been characterized with in situ x-ray diffraction using α-Fe single crystals as starting …

Cycling the α↔ ε transformation in polycrystalline Fe is investigated using in situ x-ray
diffraction under quasihydrostatic conditions. The forward α→ ε transformation starts at 14±1 …
