Search for New Highly Energetic Phases under Compression and Shear

Abstract

In this project, we performed the first search for highly energetic high pressure metastable phases obtained under compression and plastic shear in a rotational diamond anvil cell (RDAC) in azides. We combined experimental, theoretical, and modeling efforts to gain fundamental information on shear-induced PTs in materials with potentially highly energetic phases and on the ways to retain them under ambient conditions.
