June 1-3, 2005
Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory
The CDAC Summer School had been established to provide an introduction for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to high pressure-temperature materials research. We aim to explore the chemical and physical fundamentals of matter at high densities, and illustrate how static and dynamic experiments, along with condensed matter theory, can provide a means to understand the changes that take place in matter under extreme conditions. Presentations will be made within the context of key materials and measurement capabilities that are crucial to stockpile stewardship, and this will form a linking conceptual thread that will run throughout the lectures. The series of topics to be presented in the CDAC Summer School form a coherent introduction to the field of high pressure-temperature research that is not generally taught in universities and will provide a valuable background for students new to the field, regardless of the career paths students might pursue.
Lecturers for the School included:
- Neil Ashcroft - Cornell University
- Yogendra M. Gupta - Institute for Shock Physics, Washington State University
- Raymond Jeanloz - University of California-Berkeley
- Chi-chang. Kao - National Synchrotron Light Source, Brookhaven National Laboratory
