Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis of a new cubic neodymium-rhenium metallic alloy NdRe2 through the utilization of high pressure and laser heating in a diamond anvil cell. NdRe2 crystallizes in the F d 3 ¯ m space group with a lattice parameter equal to 7.486 (2) Å and Z = 8 at 24 (1) GPa and 2,200 (100) K. It was studied using high-pressure single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the cubic MgCu2 structure type. Its successful synthesis further proves that high-pressure high-temperature conditions can be used to obtain alloys holding a Laves phase structure. Ab initio calculations were done to predict the mechanical properties of the material. We also discuss the usage of extreme conditions to synthesize and study materials present in the nuclear waste.

Abstract
Abstract
We report the high-pressure/high-temperature synthesis (11 GPa, 1300 °C) of the new compound Tb2SiB2O8. This rare earth borosilicate crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn (no. 60) with the unit cell parameters a = 13.2480(3), b = 4.3904(1), and c = 9.1611(3) Å. It is built up of corner-sharing [BO4] tetrahedra forming infinite chains, that are connected to layers via [SiO4] tetrahedra. The layers are connected via [TbO7] polyhedra.
