Submit your abstracts to the APS March Meeting: Denver March 2-6, 2020!

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 25, 2019

We are looking forward to your contribution to session 16.01.01

Matter in Extreme Environments - DCOMP/DMP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This session will focus on the behavior of matter under extreme conditions of pressure, strain, compression and impacts, often in combination with extreme electromagnetic fields and particle irradiation. It will bring together theoreticians and experimentalists from a broad range of fields including physics, chemistry, materials science, as well as earth and planetary science and astrophysics for discussions in areas that include, but are not limited to, the following:

* New quantum behavior found at extremes such as superconductivity with critical temperatures approaching room temperature.
* New theoretical and computational techniques including methods for crystal structure prediction, improved treatment of electronic structure and properties calculations, as well as the development of algorithms to advance dynamic and multi-scale simulations.
* The behavior of matter in strong magnetic and electric fields.
* The development of novel experimental techniques and diagnostics.
* High pressure and high temperature synthesis of novel materials.
* Materials behavior under static and dynamic compression including phase transitions, equations of states, chemical reactivity and the emergence of novel properties.
* Warm dense matter.
* Novel materials, including: energetic, superhard, quantum, earth and planetary science inspired.
* Melting, and the behavior of liquids under extreme conditions.
* Biophysics at extreme conditions, including deep life.
