High Pressure Phase Transformations

Download or read book High Pressure Phase Transformations written by Evgeniĭ I︠U︡rʹevich Tonkov and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive handbook comprising two volumes, High Pressure Phase Transformations classifies and systemizes data on phase transformations of 2,263 elements and compounds under high pressure (at least 0.1 GPa). Each compound has a separate paragraph and bibliography that includes information on the behavior of the material under normal pressure. A critical analysis is made of experimental data on melting, first- and second-order phase transitions, crystal stuctures and phase diagrams, and data on new materials and compounds synthesized under high pressure are presented and discussed.
