A method for in situ Hall effect measurement under high pressure was developed on a diamond anvil cell. The electrode was accurately integrated on one diamond anvil with regular shape. A uniform and strong magnetic field was introduced into the sample zone. The voltage errors brought by some negative effects during the measurement were well eliminated. The correction factor of the Hall coefficient, brought by the nonpoint contact between the electrode and the sample, was 4.51%. The measurement error of the magnetic field did not exceed 1%. The carrier character of ZnTe powders was studied up to 23 GPa. The evolution of conductivity with pressure was explained based on the variation of the carrier behavior.

The abrupt drop of resistance to zero at a critical temperature is a key signature of the current paradigm of the metal-superconductor transition. However, the emergence of an intermediate bosonic insulating state characterized by a resistance peak preceding the onset of the superconducting transition has challenged this traditional understanding. Notably, this phenomenon has been predominantly observed in disordered or chemically doped low-dimensional systems, raising intriguing questions about the generality of the effect and its underlying fundamental physics.

We study ferroelectricity in the classic perovskite ferroelectric PbTiO_{3} to high pressures with density functional theory (DFT) and experimental diamond-anvil techniques. We use second harmonic generation spectroscopy to detect lack of inversion symmetry. Consistent with early understanding and experiments, we find that ferroelectricity disappears at moderate pressures.

The phase changes and reactivity of 1-pentadecene (CH) were investigated using Raman spectroscopy under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions using diamond anvil cells. At room temperature, the phase changes from liquid phase to solid phase I, and solid phase I to solid phase II were observed at 0.3 GPa and 4.

In colloidal quantum dots (QDs), excitons are confined within nanoscale dimensions, and the relaxation of hot electrons occurs through Auger cooling. The behavior of hot electrons is evident under ambient pressure. Nanocrystal characteristics, including their size, are key to determining hot electron behavior because they serve as the stage.

We have synthesized the first hydrous sp-carbonate by laser-heating Ba[CO], CO and HO in a diamond anvil cell at 40(3) GPa. The crystal structure of Ba[HCO][HCO][HCO][HCO] was determined by synchrotron single crystal X-ray diffraction. The experiments were complemented by DFT-based calculations.
