Highpressure mineral physics is a field that is strongly driven by thedevelopment of new technology. Fifty years ago when experimentally achievablepressures were limited to just 25 GPa little was know about the mineralogy ofthe Earths lower mantle. Silicate perovskite the likely dominant mineral ofthe deep Earth was identified only when the highpressure techniques broke thepressure barrier of 25 GPa in 1970s. However as the maximum achievablepressure reached beyond one Megabar 100 GPa and even to the pressure ofEarths core on minute samples new discoveries increasingly were fostered bythe development of new analytical techniques and improvements in sensitivityand precision of existing techniques.The book consists of six sections which group the papers according to theirmain topics a Elastic and Anelastic Properties b Rheology c Melt andGlass Properties d Structural and Magnetic Properties e Diffraction andSpectroscopy f Pressure Calibration and Generation. As many papers covermultiple topics readers may find papers of interest in different sections. Allpapers are prepared with emphasis on technical details suitable for a technicalreference. Many online software resources are also listed in as detailed amanner as possible. However the URL of the software sites may be subject tochange without notice. State of the art in a very important branch of geophysics namely theexperimental determination of material behavior at the extreme conditions ofplanetary interiors Emphasis on technical details suitable for a technical reference Includes many online software resources «
