An Introduction to High-Pressure Science and Technology

Beschreibung

Suitable for newcomers to the field, this book guides readers through the process of learning why pressure is considered a powerful scientific and technological tool, how pressure can be introduced into the laboratory, and which problems can be solved using this thermodynamic variable. The book presents basic thermodynamic equations, state-of-the-art computational tools, and many experimental techniques. It also addresses the responses of microorganisms, Earth constituents, and icy planets to pressure.
