Within the past few years several kinds of apparatus have been developed which are capable of maintaining simultaneously pressures up to ∼ 100 kilobars and temperatures above 2000°C (2275K). This development has expanded tremendously the field of investigation of chemical reactions, phase changes, and physical properties of materials under extreme conditions. At the present time interest and activity in the field of high-pressure research are increasing rapidly.
