The Structure and Properties of Materials at High Pressure

Objective

The Bayerisches Geoinstitut is a research institute dedicated to investigating the physical and chemical properties of materials at extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. Although the main aim of the institute is to understand the composition, structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior, research directions overlap significantly with the fields of solid-state physics and chemistry and material science. The institute is equipped with a wide range of high-pressure experimental apparatus for synthesis, phase equilibrium and in-site studies as well as for characterising the composition, structure and properties of materials, both in-site and at ambient conditions. Facilities include a high-pressure laboratory, equipped with 4 multi anvil presses (25 Gap, 3000 K), which is unique worldwide. The diamond anvil cell facilities, which are also unique world-wide, offer a broad range of techniques including laser and external heating (150 Gap, >4000 K), in-site X-ray diffraction (ultra-high intensity source with area detector), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, in-site spectroscopy (e.g. IR, Raman, and Moss Bauer) and in-site ultrasonic (gigahertz interferometer). Other facilities include piston-cylinder and hydrothermal high-pressure laboratories, deformation apparatus, calorimeter, high-resolution transmission and scanning electron microscopes, electron microprobes, ultrasonic interferometers and electrical impedance analyser. In addition, expertise and computer facilities are available for calculating the structure and properties of materials at extreme conditions from first principles, an area that is complementary to experimental studies. Users will have access to the experimental and computational facilities and will receive full scientific training and technical support. 324 experiment days per year will be provided per year.
