Reihe: Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena

This book begins with the history and background of the subject and then describes key experimental methods. Subsequent chapters are devoted to individual topics of chemistry and materials, namely, synthesis of hard materials, ceramics at high pressure, shock-induced chemical operations, biomolecules, meteorites, and metals and molecules under extreme conditions. Lastly, it offers applications to earth and planetary science and ends with future perspectives.

Shock waves dynamically produce high pressure and temperature conditions and offer interesting areas for studies on unique chemical reactions. This book introduces readers to modern shock-induced chemistry and its applications and provides an update of topics in that discipline.

Readers can gain a comprehensive understanding of current shock-induced chemistry and its versatile applications.

Über Autor(innen)

Toshimori Sekine is a staff scholar at the Center for High Pressure Science and Technology Advanced Research (HPSTAR) in China and an invited professor at Osaka University in Japan. His work primarily focuses on material studies at high pressure which cover shock science and mineral physics. He received his D. Sc. in chemistry (geochemistry and inorganic chemistry) from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. He was a senior scientist at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and a professor and a research professor at Hiroshima University in Japan. He was honored with the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Minister of the Science and Technology Agency, Japan, and was selected as a foreign expert in China and as a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS).
