Download or read book High Pressure Techniques in Chemistry and Physics written by Wilfried B. Holzapfel and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1997 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a practical introduction to the use of high-pressure techniques in chemistry and physics. The authors provide details of the experimental methods and equipment needed to carry out observations and measurements at very high pressures. The pressures involved range from a fewthousand bars for some chemical studies to hundreds of thousands of bars for some physical experimentation.High-pressure techniques may be used to learn more about the structure of matter and mechanisms of chemical reactions. This volume includes detailed descriptions of equipment to measure the following criteria under high pressure conditions: compressibility and equations of state; dielectricconstants and conductance; viscocity; X-ray and neutron diffraction; optical absorption and luminescence; Mossbauer spectra; NMR. IR. and UV spectra; molecular dynamics; kinetics; organic and inorganic synthesis; electro-chemistry and electrophoresis. Applications such as the preservation of foodare also discussed.High-pressure techniques in chemistry and physics: a practical approach is a comprehensive and detailed guide for all those engaged in high-pressure research and a valuable source of information for newcomers to the field. Each chapter contains useful toptics on specific equipment and techniques, aswell as step-by-step protocols, essential background information, and key citations in the literature.
