In situ high-pressure wide-angle hard x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy: A versatile tool probing atomic dynamics of extreme condition matter
Qiaoshi Zeng
With the advent of new synchrotron radiation x-ray sources that provide a significantly enhanced coherent flux, high-energy x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy measurements can be performed on materials in a diamond anvil cell. Essential information on atomic dynamics that was previously inaccessible can be obtained for various novel phenomena emerging under extreme conditions. This article discusses the importance, feasibility, and experimental details of this technique, as well as the opportunities that it offers to address critical scientific challenges.

Geomimicry—Liberating high-pressure research by encapsulation
Ho-Kwang Mao, and Wendy L. Mao
High pressures induce changes of properties and structures that could greatly impact materials science if such changes were preserved for ambient applications. Mimicking the geological process of diamond formation that the pressures and high-pressure phases in diamond inclusions can be preserved by the strong diamond envelope, we discuss the perspectives that such process revolutionizes high-pressure science and technology and opens a great potential for creation of functional materials with extremely favorable properties.

Dense hydrous silica carrying water to the deep Earth and promotion of oxygen fugacity heterogeneity
Yanhao Lin, and Ho-Kwang Mao
Water has remarkable effects on the properties of mantle rocks, but, owing to the high temperatures in the mantle, uncertainties remain about how and how much water is transported into the deep Earth. Recent studies have shown that stishovite and post-stishovites as high-pressure phases of SiO2 have the potential to carry weight percent levels of water into the Earth’s interior along the geotherm of the subducting oceanic crust. As slabs are subducted to the deepest mantle, dehydration of these dense hydrous silica phases has the potential to change the physicochemical properties of the mantle by reducing melting points, forming new high-pressure phases, and enhancing the oxygen fugacity heterogeneity of the lower mantle.

Dream fusion in octahedral spherical hohlraum
Ke Lan
The octahedral spherical hohlraum provides an ideal and practical approach for indirect-drive toward a dream fusion with predictable and reproducible gain and opens a route to the development of a laser drive system for multiple laser fusion schemes. This paper addresses a number of issues that have arisen with regard to octahedral spherical hohlraums, such as how to naturally generate a highly symmetric radiation drive at all times and for all spectra without the use of symmetry tuning technology, how to determine the three-dimensional, temporal, and spectral characteristics of the real radiation drive on a capsule in experiments, and the relative energy efficiency of an octahedral spherical hohlraum compared with a cylindrical hohlraum. A design island for an octahedral spherical hohlraum is presented. Finally, the challenges and future tasks for the path forward are presented.

Role of hydrogen and proton transportation in Earth’s deep mantle
Qingyang Hu, and Ho-kwang Mao
Hydrogen (H) is the most abundant element in the known universe, and on the Earth’s surface it bonds with oxygen to form water, which is a distinguishing feature of this planet. In the Earth’s deep mantle, H is stored hydroxyl (OH-) in hydrous or nominally anhydrous minerals. Despite its ubiquity on the surface, the abundance of H in the Earth’s deep interior is uncertain. Estimates of the total H budget in the Earth’s interior have ranged from less than one hydrosphere, which assumes an H-depleted interior, to hundreds of hydrospheres, which assumes that H is siderophile (iron-loving) in the core. This discrepancy raises the questions of how H is stored and transported in the Earth’s deep interior, the answers to which will constrain its behavior in the deep lower mantle, which is defined as the layer between 1700 km depth and the core–mantle boundary.
