Lots of scientific problems regarding the high-pressure nonequilibrium dynamic remain unexplored, such as underlying transition mechanism, synthesis of metastable materials with novel properties, time-dependent transition pathways, structural metastability, structural relaxation, crystal morphology, and transient physical/electronic properties. The following topics will be presented for my current research.
We investigate how compression rate governs phase transition pathways in materials driven far from equilibrium. By combining time-resolved probes with high-pressure techniques, we reveal distinct kinetic routes, including transient amorphous intermediates and non-equilibrium crystal–crystal transformations. Our work establishes a pathway-centric framework for understanding and controlling phase evolution beyond conventional thermodynamic limits.
