DESCRIPTION:Speakers: S. A. Medvedev (Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Ph
 ysics of Solids Dresden\, Germany)\n\nHigh pressure is a powerful method t
 o tune in controllable manner the interatomic distances in crystal and the
  consequent properties of the investigated system. In response to applicat
 ion of high pressure\, condensed matter undergoes structural\, electronic\
 , magnetic and other phase transitions leading to unusual and sometimes un
 expected properties of matter.The knowledge of the structure of matter und
 er compression is both of technological and fundamental interest. The scie
 nce of matter at high density is now providing bases for fundamental under
 standing of atomic and molecular interactions in matter\, giving new insig
 hts into the properties of materials at ambient conditions\, and indicatin
 g the roots for the synthesis of the novel materials with exotic propertie
 s.Although setting up a high-pressure experiment is very difficult and tim
 e consuming\, studies of pressure effect on properties of matter can now b
 e performed using nearly all the experimental techniques of condensed-matt
 er physics in temperature range from mK to thousands of K and/or at high m
 agnetic fields.In this lecture\, the basics of high-pressure science and t
 echnology will be discussed. The techniques of generation and measurement 
 of static high pressure and experimental methods of studies of physical pr
 operties of matter under extreme conditions will be presented.\n \n\nhttp
