ABSTRACTWe report on a high pressure study of emission from a series of GaInP(ordered)/GaAs heterostructures. A so-called “deep emission” band at 1.46 eV is observed in all our samples. At high excitation power, quantum well emission emerges in only one structure where thin GaP layers are inserted on both sides of the GaAs well. From the pressure dependent emission in this sample we have determined its band alignments. The role of the GaP layers in suppressing the deep emission is elucidated.

Some recent developments in the field of resistivity saturation in metallic materials are discussed, concentrating on effects of thermal expansion and high pressures. It is shown that thermal expansion effects can significantly modify the measured temperature dependence of the resistivity, and that high pressure studies are an important, but little used, source of information. Examples are shown for transition metals and alloys, high transition temperature superconductors, and graphite intercalation compounds.

High-pressure studies on thermoelectric materials allow the study of the relationship between structural, elastic, and electronic properties. The High Pressure Science and Engineering Center (HiPSEC) at UNLV performs interdisciplinary research on a wide variety of materials at high pressures. One such system, CrSi2 is an indirect band gap semiconductor that has potential applications in solar cells.

This paper discusses the trends in the experimental studies of molecular organic solids at high pressures by diffraction techniques. Crystallization of liquids, crystallization from solutions and solid-state transformations are considered. Special attention is paid to the high-pressure studies of pharmaceuticals and of biomimetics.

High-pressure studies on strongly correlated-electron systems allow the study of the relationship between structural, elastic, electronic, and magnetic properties of d-and f-band systems. The High Pressure Science and Engineering Center (HiPSEC) at UNLV performs interdisciplinary research on a wide variety of materials at high pressures. One such system, YbB2 displays antiferromagnet order at ambient pressure. We present heat capacity measurements at high magnetic fields to 9 T and structural measurement at pressures up to 5 GPa on YbB2.

AbstractHigh-pressure studies have been performed on heavy rare earth metals Terbium (Tb) to 155 GPa and Holmium (Ho) to 134 GPa in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature. The following crystal structure sequence was observed in both metals hcp ⟶ Sm-type ⟶ dhcp ⟶ distorted fcc (hR-24) ⟶ monoclinic (C2/m) with increasing pressure. The last transformation to a low symmetry monoclinic phase is accompanied by a volume collapse of 5 % for Tb at 51 GPa and a volume collapse of 3 % for Ho at 103 GPa. This volume collapse under high pressure is reminiscent of f-shell delocalization in light rare earth metal Cerium (Ce), Praseodymium (Pr), and heavy actinide metals Americium (Am) and Curium (Cm). The orthorhombic Pnma phase that has been reported in Am and Cm after f-shell delocalization is not observed in heavy rare earth metals under high pressures.
