Abstract
Abstract High-pressure science encompasses many different areas of research, and its use in neutron scattering experiments dates back to the 1960s. Technical advances have always driven the field, which saw dramatic expansion in the early 1980s as synchrotron light became available. At the present time, a similar revolution is occurring with neutron sources, which has the potential to catapult high-pressure neutron science to new frontiers. In this chapter, the evolution of high-pressure technology and its implementation at neutron sources is explored. Detailed consideration of some of the sample environment used generate high pressures is given, along with some of the practical issues of data reduction. In addition, a brief survey of some rapidly evolving high-pressure science in the fields of biology, chemistry, and material science will be conducted. All of this provides a context to examine future directions and exciting opportunities that look set to become available in the near future.
