Annotation: Bringing together contributions from experts in their respective subjects, High Pressure Surface Science covers experimental measurement techniques, simulation of pressure induced phase transformations, amorphization and tribology. The first three chapters of the book describe a variety of experimental methods and simulation techniques used in the study of phase transformations. The following chapters consider phase transformations in different materials, namely semiconductors, pseudocrystals and ceramics. The remaining chapters of the book consider pressure-induced amorphization, dynamic loading, ductile regime machining and solid state transformations in tribological processes.

Publisher Description:

In many instances of mechanical interaction between two materials, the physical
contact affects only the outermost surface layer, with little discernible influence on the bulk of the material. The resultant high pressures in these localised regimes can induce surface structural changes such as deformation, phase transformation and amorphization. The understanding of these physical phenomena is critical in the study of common 'contact loading' processes such as scratching, grinding, milling, polishing, indentation testing, wear, friction and erosion.
