[High-pressure-crystallography] APS March Meeting 2020 - Focus Session: Matter in Extreme Environments

[Eva Zurek]

Submit your abstracts to the APS March Meeting: Denver March 2-6, 2020!

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 25, 2019

We are looking forward to your contribution to session 16.01.01

Matter in Extreme Environments - DCOMP/DMP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This session will focus on the behavior of matter under extreme conditions of
pressure, strain, compression and impacts, often in combination with extreme
electromagnetic fields and particle irradiation. It will bring together
theoreticians and experimentalists from a broad range of fields including
physics, chemistry, materials science, as well as earth and planetary science
and astrophysics for discussions in areas that include, but are not limited to,
the following:

* New quantum behavior found at extremes such as superconductivity with
    critical temperatures approaching room temperature.
* New theoretical and computational techniques including methods for
    crystal structure prediction, improved treatment of electronic structure
    and properties calculations, as well as the development of algorithms to
    advance dynamic and multi-scale simulations.
* The behavior of matter in strong magnetic and electric fields.
* The development of novel experimental techniques and diagnostics.
* High pressure and high temperature synthesis of novel materials.
* Materials behavior under static and dynamic compression including phase
    transitions, equations of states, chemical reactivity and the
    emergence of novel properties.
* Warm dense matter.
* Novel materials, including: energetic, superhard, quantum, earth and
    planetary science inspired.
* Melting, and the behavior of liquids under extreme conditions.
* Biophysics at extreme conditions, including deep life.
