Modern high-pressure technology uses diamond anvil, which can apply hundreds of thousands or even millions of atmospheres (1010~1011 Pa) of stress to the material in the submillimeter (about 100 microns) scale, changing the crystal structure and electronic structure of the material. The High Pressure Science Laboratory uses high pressure techniques to study the structure and properties of condensed matter.
The laboratory was established in 2008, with diamond anvil, high pressure and low temperature Raman spectrometer, low temperature electric transport test system, pulsed excimer laser and pulsed laser deposition system and other experimental instruments. At present, there is one professor, one associate professor and two lecturers, who carry out high-level research work on the structure and properties of magnetism and magnetic materials, multi-heavy iron materials and superconducting materials. It has obtained 5 projects of National Natural Science Foundation, including Nature, Phys.Rew.Lett., Phys.Rew.B, Appl. Phys.Lett. He has published more than 50 academic papers in important international academic journals and applied for 3 patents. He has trained 2 postdocs, 2 PHDS and 11 masters. At present, there are 3 doctoral students and 8 master students in the laboratory.
