Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is essentially a supplement to the two previously published volumes ("High Pressure Phase Transformations: A Handbook", Vols 1 and 2). The handbooks classify and systematize data on phase transformations of elements and compounds under high pressure (at least 0.1 GPa). A separate section with a complete list of references is devoted to each compound; information on the behaviour of the material under normal pressure is included, together with a critical analysis of experimental data on melting, first- and second-order phase transitions, crystal structures and phase diagrams. Information on atmospheric pressure is also presented, including the temperatures of phase transitions, concommmitant entalpy and volume changes, densitics and crystallographic data of modifications. Amongst the updates included in this volume is the data for 354 new compounds not listed in the previous handbooks, as well as addenda for 230 entries from the earlier volumes.
