Materials synthesis at terapascal static pressures

Abstract: Theoretical modelling predicts very unusual structures and properties of materials at extreme pressure and temperature conditions1,2. Hitherto, their synthesis and investigation above 200 gigapascals have been hindered both by the technical complexity of ultrahigh-pressure experiments and by the absence of relevant in situ methods of materials analysis. Here we report on a methodology developed to enable experiments at static compression in the terapascal regime with laser heating. We apply this method to real… Show more

“…We performed structure searches in binary hydrides MH m ( m = 2–24) over a wide range of hydrogen contents to predict stable structures, with a sharp focus on hydrogen-superrich phases. Particularly noteworthy was the finding of new stoichiometric Ce and Th extreme superhydrides Ce/ThH 18 stable at experimentally accessible pressures , around 300 GPa after the zero-point energy (ZPE) was considered. Specifically, CeH 18 and ThH 18 become stable at reduced pressures of 315 and 281 GPa, respectively (see Figure a,b as well as Figure S1), making the experimental synthesis and characterization feasible.…”

“…A synthetic chemist is aided by the diversity of possible synthetic strategies, which can include extreme conditions (e.g. high pressure 83,84 ), non-equilibrium approaches (e.g. plasma-electrochemical methods 85 ), or even nuclear transmutation (e.g.…”

“…Ihre Synthese und Untersuchungen an ihnen wurden bisher sowohl durch die technische Komplexität von Ultrahochdruckexperimenten als auch durch das Fehlen relevanter Methoden zur Materialanalyse in situ behindert. Unser Team hat eine Methodik entwickelt, um diese Schwierigkeiten zu überwinden und die Untersuchung des Materialverhaltens bei statischen Drücken von bis zu 1 TPa (10 Millionen Atmosphären) zu ermöglichen [1].…”

“…In unserer jüngsten Veröffentlichung [1] haben wir nicht nur alle technischen Details beschrieben, sondern auch unseren Ansatz zur Sammlung und Verarbeitung von Synchrotron‐Röntgenbeugungsmustern (Abbildung 2, links), die von sehr kleinen Kristallen stammen, und den wir im letzten Jahrzehnt entwickelt haben [2–4]. Das Ergebnis der Datenverarbeitung ist ein Modell der Kristallstruktur (Abbildung 2, rechts).…”
