Molecular Systems under High Pressure: Proceedings of the II Archimedes Workshop, Catania, Italy, 28-31 May, 1990

The continuous development of experimental techniques has enabled the attainment of laboratory pressures comparable with those existing in the centre of the Earth or of Jupiter. The increasing international interest in this research field stems not only from the information acquired at geophysical and astrophysical levels but also from the possibility to obtain new materials, some of which are currently being used in manufacturing industries. Also for its fundamental implications, much research work has been devoted to molecular solids under pressure. The papers in this volume bring together the experience of specialists both experimentally and theoretically, in the latest advances in high pressure research in the field of molecular solids.Pucci, R. is the author of 'Molecular Systems under High Pressure: Proceedings of the II Archimedes Workshop, Catania, Italy, 28-31 May, 1990', published 1991 under ISBN 9780444887726 and ISBN 0444887725.
