Workshop on Studying Strongly Correlated Materials with High Pressures

ru

Meta-materials and post-silicon electronics under invited scientist Dr. Siddharth S Saxena (Principal Research Associate, Cavendish Laboratory, Director, Cambridge Central Asia Forum, Fellow Commoner, Jesus College).

  • Introduction to the Physics of Pressure Tunable Quantum Phases
  • Introduction to High-Pressure method and Typology of Equipment
  • Instructions on Use of Variety of Piston-Cylinder Cells
  • Introduction to Pressure Studies of Crystallographic Transformation
  • Introduction Neutron’s and Synchrotron Study of Pressure Driven Phase Transitions

This workshop will introduce researchers and post-graduate students to methods and techniques for studying magnetism, superconductivity, dielectric properties and electrical properties using clamp-type and anvil-type pressure apparatus. This will be further augmented by introduction to X-ray and neutron methods to study relationships between structural and magnetic properties of materials.
