Dynamic experiments create high-pressure shock waves on the microsecond time scale (or smaller), compressing materials to high pressures and temperatures and enabling the study of material properties at these conditions. Other dynamic studies use quasi-isentropic compression to produce similar high pressures at much lower temperatures. High pressure experiments performed on dynamic platforms such as gas-guns, laser, and pinch machines generate up to several hundred GPa in the sample pressure conditions12. Related static studies include diamond anvil cells, which obtain high pressures and have extremely high precision, but are most often conducted at room temperature or modest temperature increases (often <2000K). By combining these methods, material properties across a wide range of thermodynamic conditions can be probed, and a high quality equation of state (EOS) constructed.
