  • Performed high-pressure experiments on samples at low temperature in a diamond anvil cell and in a He-gas system. \n• Demonstrated that the iron-based superconductors are very sensitive to strain. Measured radically different pressure-dependences of the superconducting transition in LnFePO materials using different pressure media.\n• Showed that the superconducting transition temperature in cuprate superconductors can be enhanced either by decreasing the area of the CuO2 planes or by increasing their separation.\n• Proved that benzene is non-metallic at room temperature up to 2 Mbar.\n• Conducted high pressure measurements on sodium

  potassium

  and Li(Mg) alloys to search for superconductivity. Measured pressure-induced superconductivity in Li_0.9 Mg_0.1
