### Symposium D

#### Materials science at high-pressure conditions

Scope of the Symposium

The symposium will be an interdisciplinary meeting for discussing recent trends and developments in the science of materials submitted to extreme conditions of pressure. The development and dissemination of new experimental, computational and theoretical tools have enormously increased the possibility to exploit how this fundamental thermodynamic parameter affects the physics and chemistry of different materials. The proposal is bring together basic and applied researchers working in this field, using high-pressure in a broad spectrum of approaches, including: study of basic materials properties, induction of electronic, magnetic and structural changes, production of novel materials, development of materials processing and analytical techniques, theoretical modeling and use of the state of the art computational tools.

Abstracts will be solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas

- Electronic, magnetic and transport properties
- Superconductivity and correlated phenomena
- Crystallography at extreme conditions
- Nanoscience and nanotechnology
- Spectroscopic and structural studies
- High pressure chemistry
- Pressure-induced phase transformations
- Instrumentation for the study of materials under high pressure
- Materials processing
- Theoretical models and computing tools
