NiO was treated as a typical example of a "Mott" insulator with a wide d-d energy gap U.And Mott predicted possible insulator-metal transition in compressed NiO.
Laser-driven flyers has unique advantages of high flyer velocity,low cost,simple facility compared with the flyers driven by other conventional dynamic high-pressure loading techniques.With the fast d
Shock-induced deformation of columnar nanocrystalline Al is investigated by implementing large-scale molecular dynamics simulations,and atomic scale orientation mapping for microstructural analysis.
Under high pressure,unsaturated bond systems generally undergo irreversible transfonnations to produce carbon-based polymeric materials with peculiar properties.
Light elements(e.g.,Li,B,C)with extraordinary bonding features often present novel physical properties,such as superconductivity,metal-insulator transitions,and superhardness.
Deep crustal earthquakes have been recorded under Southern Tibet down to depths of~100 km,within the subducted Indian continental plate,where the lower crust is considered hot and dry [1].
