| Abstract Scope |
Pressure, a key thermodynamic parameter, is a powerful way to control material properties, induce quantum phase transitions, and foster the exploration of new materials. Yet, the limited sample volume within diamond anvil cells, a prevalent method for generating a wide range of pressures, poses a significant challenge in probing material properties under extreme pressure conditions. This talk will discuss our recent high-pressure studies of selected quantum materials including topological magnets and superconductors. Our approach integrates various techniques, including synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction, inelastic scattering, spectroscopy techniques such as X-ray absorption spectroscopy and time-domain synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy, and electrical transport method. |
