Introduction

Pressure is a powerful variable for probing the structure and bonding of matter, since it can induce new phases and alter electronic and magnetic behavior. Emin Mijit’s work belongs to this area and relies on synchrotron-based and ultrafast X-ray techniques. His publications involve collaborations with research groups across Europe, Asia and North America, reflecting the international character of high-pressure research.

Research Profile

Mijit is affiliated with Sorbonne University in France, and his subject area is physics and astronomy. His Scopus Author ID is 57200569791, and the profile records 31 documents, 264 citations and an h-index of 10 [5]. His work can be grouped into three main themes:

  • Structural studies of metals and compounds at high and ultrahigh pressure
  • Local structure of glasses and liquids probed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy
  • Electronic and magnetic behavior of correlated materials under compression

Research Contributions

In solid-state chemistry, Mijit contributed to a study of reduced iridium stabilized at high pressure, published in Chemical Science [1]. In amorphous materials, he is the lead author of a study of GeS2 glass that combines X-ray absorption spectroscopy with Reverse Monte Carlo analysis to model the atomic structure [2].

He also took part in an investigation of niobium structure up to 365 GPa using ultrafast X-ray diffraction and shock compression [3], and in work on the pressure-driven collapse of magnetism in the frustrated compound Ce2Pd2In, in which cerium retained a stable Ce3+ valence [4]. Further collaborative work probed water hydration at high pressure in Fe3+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ solutions by EXAFS, published in The Journal of Chemical Physics.
