Description
Chemistry at Extreme Conditions covers those chemical processes that occur in the pressure regime of 0.5–200 GPa and temperature
range of 500–5000 K and includes such varied phenomena as comet collisions, synthesis of super-hard materials, detonation and combustion
of energetic materials, and organic conversions in the interior of planets. The book provides an insight into this active and exciting
field of research. Written by top researchers in the field, the book covers state of the art experimental advances in high-pressure technology,
from shock physics to laser-heating techniques to study the nature of the chemical bond in transient processes. The chapters have been
conventionally organised into four broad themes of applications: biological and bioinorganic systems; Experimental works on the transformations
in small molecular systems; Theoretical methods and computational modeling of shock-compressed materials; and experimental and computational
approaches in energetic materials research.
Audience
Chemists, physicists, materials scientists and computational scientists and researchers working in academic and governmental institutions
with an interest in high-pressure physics and chemistry, and energetic materials.
