Optical measurements Under Pressure for the design of new functional materials
The UP project aims to implement within the Paris Region a cell to perform optical measurements under pressure. It will allow measuring absorption and emission spectra at variable pressure (from 1bar to 6 kbar) and temperature. This will provide valuable information on the electronic properties of compounds under pressure that will be used for the design of solids of interest for barocaloric refrigeration, gas separation or shock detection, among others.
