The Parsons group research covers 3 major areas. Loading a DAC Details on loading samples and pressure transmitting media in diamond anvil cells. High Pressure Crystallography We are interested in the behaviour of molecular crystal structures in the pressure regime up to 10 GPa (~100,000 atm). Low Melting Point Compounds Edinburgh is one of only a handful of chemistry departments in the world where expertise is available for the determination of the crystal structures of low melting point materials.
