Kinetics and dynamics of fast transformations at extreme conditions. Combined XFEL and synchrotron study.

Our international community of researchers was awarded four shifts in proposal 2844 on the HED instrument of the European XFEL in June 2022 to investigate the kinetics and mechanisms of high-pressure nitridation reactions in diamond anvil cells. The aim of the proposed synchrotron experiment is to perform a post-synthetic analysis of the samples studied at the EuXFEL. Synchrotron radiation and single-crystal XRD will provide more detailed structural information about the synthesized materials.
