Primary activity: The main subject of my research activity is the study of matter under extreme pressures. The experimental investigations are based on vibrational spectroscopy technique (Raman scattering and Infrared absorption at LENS, Florence), X ray diffraction and Inelastic X ray scattering (at the european synchrotron radiation facility, ESRF, Grenoble and at LENS, Florence (XRD)). The extreme pressures are generated by Diamond Anvil Cells (DAC), also projected and developed at LENS.

Main experiences acquired: Vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and IR), X ray diffraction, High pressure technology (diamond anvil cells (DAC) and hydrothermal cells, sample preparation for DAC (cryogenic ad high pressure gas loading), laser heating in DAC, project and development of vacuum chambers for high and low temperatures, project and development of motorized systems for remote control.

Research Groups:
