High Pressure Techniques in Chemistry and Physics: A Practical Approach

Book Overview

This book contains details of experimental methods and the equipment needed to carry out observations and measurements at very high pressures. These range from a few thousand atmospheres for chemical studies to hundreds of thousands of atmospheres for some physical experimentation. By using these methods, much can be learned concerning the structure of matter, mechanisms of chemical reactions and applications such as the preservation of food are discussed.
