Equilibrium Physics at Extreme Conditions

Carrying out high-fidelity experiments to determine physical, thermodynamic, and constitutive properties of materials

The Equilibrium Physics at Extreme Conditions group studies materials under extreme high-pressure and temperature conditions. We develop advanced compression capabilities using the diamond anvil cell and advanced x-ray and optical diagnostics. Our research directly aligns with the shared mission of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the National Nuclear Security Administration.
