High Pressure Spin Probe
EF 2009-10
Résumé
Materials properties can be altered by the application of pressure. For example a normal insulating material may become a metal or even superconductor under compression. High pressure also affect our daily life as manifest in changes in geo-dynamics at the outer and inner core of the Earth. We propose to assemble an instrument specifically designed to study the electron spin property of materials under extreme pressure. This instrument will be used to study new molecular magnets, superconductors and the behaviour of minerals and their chemistry under extreme pressure. This instrument will be unique for research in high pressure science.
