Submit your abstracts to the APS March Meeting: Boston March 4-8, 2019!

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 26, 2018

We are looking forward to your contribution to session 18.0

Matter in Extreme Conditions - DCOMP/DMP/GSCCM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This focus session is concerned with the behavior of matter under extreme conditions of pressure, strain, radiation, temperature, deformations and point impact. Such research is not only of fundamental scientific importance, but it also has numerous applications, e.g. for the synthesis of materials exhibiting novel electronic and magnetic states of matter as well as unique stoichiometries and crystal structures, which require the development of new chemical bonding rules. It is relevant for the design of technologically important materials such as spacecraft and armor, as well as for explosives and in nuclear explosions. Extreme conditions drive the processes that occur in the Earth's core and the interior of other planets. In this session, we invite experimental and theoretical contributions from a broad range of fields including physics, chemistry, materials science, as well as earth and planetary science and astrophysics to discuss their research and form new collaborations.
