[High-pressure-crystallography] APS March Meeting 2021 - Focus Session: Matter in Extreme Environments

[Eva Zurek]

Submit your abstracts to the APS March Meeting: March 15-19, 2021!

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.
