High-pressure studies provide crucial information for many scientific and industrial applications. Volume changes can produce structural, electronic, magnetic and other phase transitions, initiate chemical reactions, and many other phenomena. During last decades diamond anvil cell (DAC) technique has become the most popular method of pressure generation capable for work in a multimegabar...

Transition metal oxides constitute a very large class of materials of considerable importance for both fundamental science and practical applications. They include high temperature superconductors, manganites with colossal magneto-resistance, multiferroics, materials for spintronic and optoelectronic applications. Moreover, mixed iron oxides and perovskites are very important for geophysics....
