High Pressure Structural Phase Transitions in Solids presents theoretical high pressure activity from an ab initio electronic structure point of view. The book provides all available experimental and theoretical data, including unpublished theoretical data included to show how the structural phase transitions take place at very high pressure as well as predicted phase transitions using theory under extreme conditions. It is appealing to very broad audience including: condensed matter physics, materials science and technology and geophysics, to experimentalists and theorists, to basic scientists, applied scientists and scientists and technologists working at the interface of basic and applied science and to young research scientists and technologists including graduate students.

This is a very important field which is growing up very rapidly with the development of advanced synchrotron sources at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), France, APS, USA and Spring-8, JapanThe results presented are very important in the field of high pressure material scienceProfessor Ahuja is highly cited and one of the world-leading scientists working on the theoretical studies of phase transformation in different classes of the materialsA unique approach is that it is written by a theoretician working with experimentalists, with clear emphasis on what is possible to predict by modern methods, what information theoreticians can use from experiments, and highlights the synergies between the theory and experimentAs an experienced teacher, Professor Ahujan recognizes the importance of clear and comprehensible presentation INDICE: 1.
