High Pressure-High Temperature, X-Ray Diffraction Apparatus
نویسنده
چکیده
A tetrahedral-anvil press has been developed that permits x-ray diffraction powder measurements at pressures to 75 kb and temperatures to 1000°C. A counting technique, rather than photographic film, is used for x-ray detection. Sample tetrahedra of compressed LiH, boron, and boron-filled plastic are used in place of the pyrophyllite customarily used for this purpose. Two possible entrance pupils are used for the x-ray beam; (1) through an anvil face, and (2) through one of the compressible gaskets. Examples of the use of this versatile apparatus for determining crystal structures (KCl, Ba, and Sn), volume compressibility (Ba), lattice-parameter changes (BN), and phase diagrams (Sn) are given.

Imaging in 3D under pressure: a decade of high-pressure X-ray microtomography development at GSECARS
The high-pressure X-ray microtomography (HPXMT) apparatus has been operating at the GeoSoilEnviroCARS (GSECARS) bending magnet beamline at the Advanced Photon Source since 2005. By combining the powerful synchrotron X-ray source and fast switching between white (for X-ray diffraction) and monochromatic (for absorption imaging) modes, this technique provides the high-pressure community with a un...

San-Carlos olivine rheology was investigated at pressure (P) up to 9 GPa and temperature (T) lower than 890 ◦C. Six powder specimens were cold compressed and sintered into dense and compact materials, then deformed during relaxation experiments carried out at constant pressure and temperature in DIA-type cubic-anvil apparatus. Sample elastic strain was monitored during relaxation by in situ X-r...
متن کاملSingle Crystal Growth of SkutteruditeCoP3 under High Pressure
A newmethod to grow single crystals of skutterudite compounds is examined. Using a wedge-type, cubic-anvil, high-pressure apparatus, single crystals of CoP3 were grown from stoichiometric melts under a pressure of 3.5 GPa. Powder x-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis measurements indicate that the as-grown boules are a single phase of CoP3. The results suggest that CoP3 is a congru...
متن کاملThermal equation of state of CaGeO3 perovskite
Pressure-volume-temperature data have been obtained for CaGeO3 perovskite up to 9.6 GPa and 1100 K using a cubic anvil, DIA-type high-pressure apparatus in conjunction with synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The data were analyzed using Birch-Murnaghan equation of state and thermal pressure approach with the bulk modulus at ambient pressure, KT0, and its pressure derivative, K′ T0, constrained by p...

In the past 6 years, state-of-the-art techniques have been developed for the studies of elastic properties of polycrystalline and single-crystal materials using simultaneous ultrasonic and X-ray diffraction techniques at high pressures and temperatures in multi-anvil apparatus. The capability of these techniques is illustrated using recent data for mantle phases such as forsterite, wadsleyite, ...
