[Eva Zurek]

Submit your abstracts to the APS March Meeting: March 15-19, 2021!
(To be held virtually)

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 23, 2020

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.
