  1. Università di Pisa Scuola di Dottorato Galileo Galilei School of Graduate Studies Applied Physics GALILEIAN SEMINARS: "High Pressure Studies of Matter" Dr. S. CapaccioliProf. F. Pegoraro

  2. One of the question of Accademia del Cimento: Can the volume of liquids be reduced by an external perturbation? Some experiments about the compression of water An “ancestor” of pressure experiments: Firenze (1667) Magalotti 1667, “Saggi di naturali Esperienze” Maxim: <<...PROVANDO E RIPROVANDO, si riesce talora di dar nel segno…>>

  3. Paul McMillian, Nat.Mat.2005 1946, Nobel Prize for High Pressure Physics Max Pressure 105 bar=10 GPa Equation of state of materials, polymorphism, amorphization Pressing on: The legacy of Percy W. Bridgman (1882-1962) Isopropyl alcohol

  4. 2011: 65th anniversary of Nobel Prize to Bridgman Is it high pressure an obsolete subject, ready for retirement? Not at all! In the last decades several improvements: - P up to some Megabar=100-400 GPa - dramatic changes in physical and chemical properties of matter, up to to the formation of new classes of materials.

  5. Modification of structure and bonding with compression, • - pressure-induced phase transitions and polymorphism, - tuning of vibrational dynamics, • new states of electronic and magnetic order, • etc. Ichimura, Phys Rep 1995 High pressure Studies of Matter interesting for: Condensed Matter Physics Chemistry Astrophysics Geophysics
