This research program consists of several projects with a common                theme, understanding the chemistry, dynamics, structures, and                   electronic properties of condensed materials under high pressures               and, often, extremes of temperature.  The research centers on                   five problem areas:                                                             1.  Melting and Other Phase Equilibria of Simple Solids and Solid                    Mixtures at High Pressures                                                 2.  A Search for Nitrogen Metal at Room Temperature                             3.  Unsaturated Carbon Compounds at Very High Static Pressures                  4.  Shock-Decomposition Chemistry of Benzene and Electronic                          Spectra from and behind Shock Fronts                                       5.  X-Ray Diffraction under Extreme Conditions                                  The emphasis is experimental.  However, many of the systems they                study are relatively simple in the sense that their properties                  can be modeled by theorists.  They attempt to determine how these               materials behave at high pressures with sufficient precision to                 test the accuracy of these models and, thereby, to contribute to                improving their understanding of how materials respond to high                  stresses on the molecular level.                                                                                                                                   //
