Description

One envisaged class of experiments at the "extreme conditions" station at PETRA-III are synthesis experiments at very high pressures and temperatures. I will summarize recent work on the synthesis of carbides and nitrides in laser heated diamond anvil cells and discuss future prospects in this research area.
