Attempting to freeze matter under extreme pressure? (lemm.ee)

I tried finding some research and found lots about freezing matter or putting it under extreme pressure, but not trying both.

My thought experiment involved taking a small portion of ideal of matter (not sure what), artificially applying extreme pressure to it and than attempt to lower its temperature and if possible, apply even more pressure before trying to lower its temperature - taking it as low as possible under the highest pressure you could.

I assumed there's likely to be a conflict between pressure - thus increasing vibration/wave properties of the material - and how it would be possible to reduce those energetic wave properties.

Thanks for any insight.

You're thinking of gases. In condensed phases energy is just stored as a potential energy coming from the fact that molecules are too close to each other (going left of that minimum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennard-Jones_potential). You don't have gases under such conditions, they condense

@missing_forklift@sh.itjust.works gave me the answer that I was originally after. Still, thank you for replying to my question.
