Abstract:

The diamond anvil cell (DAC) is considered one of the dominant devices to generate ultrahigh static pressure. The development of the DAC technique has enabled researchers to explore rich high-pressure science in the multimegabar pressure range. Here, we investigated the behavior of the DAC up to 400 GPa, which is the accepted pressure limit of a conventional DAC. By using a submicrometer synchrotron X-ray beam, double cuppings of the beveled diamond anvils were observed experimentally. Details of pressure loading, distribution, gasket-thickness variation, and diamond anvil deformation were studied to understand the generation of ultrahigh pressures, which may improve the conventional DAC techniques.

AbstractThe clinopyroxenes kanoite and spodumene were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) at room temperature. At the displacive phase transitions between the C2/c and P21/c polymorphs both phases coexist within the same crystal. In this two-phase region the pressure in the DAC remains constant. The experimental results demonstrate that pressure buffering at first-order phase transitions can occur in the DAC.

Abstract:

Laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LH-DAC) experimentation has emerged as a leading technique for materials processing at extreme pressures and temperatures. LH-DAC systems are often employed to better characterise the structure and properties of materials in applications ranging from condensed matter physics to geophysical research to planetary science. This article reviews LH-DAC and related laser-based characterisation, as the first part of a series within the broader context of all high-pressure laser-induced material processing. In part I of this review, a synopsis of laser-heated diamond anvil cell experimental methods, developmental history, fundamental physicochemical processes, and emerging research trends are provided. Important examples of minerals/materials modified during LH-DAC investigations (since their inception) are also tabulated, including key phase transformations, material syntheses, laser parameters, and process conditions—as a reference for the reader and as a guide for directing future research efforts. Note that laser-dynamic-compression within diamond anvil cells (LDC-DAC experimentation) and laser-induced reactive chemical synthesis within diamond anvil cells (LRS-DAC experimentation) are treated separately, as Parts II and III of this review.

Abstract:

The externally heated diamond anvil cell (EHDAC) conducts high pressure and temperature experiments with spatial uniformity and temporal stability. These are conventionally combined with various spectroscopies and x-ray diffraction measurements. EHDAC techniques perform Joule heating on a heater placed close to or directly in contact with diamond anvils. However, the electrical wiring and heater required for Joule heating complicate EHDAC setups, hindering easy access for the measurement of physical properties. This study proposes an EHDAC technique using laser- instead of Joule-heating. We successfully achieved temperatures reaching 900 K by applying heat to diamond anvils through laser-heating of the gaskets with thermally insulating anvil seats. To test this setup, we measured the melting temperature of H2O ice VII, which was consistent with previous studies. We also measured the high-pressure and temperature impedance of H2O VII and verified the capability of electrical resistivity measurements in this setup. This technique allows various physical property measurements owing to its simple setup required for externally laser-heated diamond anvil cell experiments. The unique characteristics of this heating technique are that (1) no heaters or wiring are required, (2) it exhibits the most efficient heating among EHDAC studies, (3) it maintains the DAC body at room temperature, and (4) diamond anvils do not detach from anvil seats after the EHDAC experiment. This method significantly simplifies the experimental setup, which allows much easier access to various physical property measurements using an EHDAC.

Abstract:

The synthesis of advanced materials at high pressures has been an area of growing research interest for several decades. This article is the third in a three-part series that reviews Laser Materials Processing Within Diamond Anvil Cells (L-DACs). Part III focuses on the practice of Laser Reactive Synthesis Within Diamond Anvil Cells (LRS-DAC). During LRS-DAC processing, chemicals are precompressed within diamond anvil cells, then microscale chemical reactions are induced by focused laser beams. The method is distinguished from the well-known Laser-Heated Diamond Anvil Cell (LH-DAC) technique (see Part I) through the existence of chemical precursors (reactants), end-products, and quantifiable changes in chemical composition upon reaction. LRS-DAC processing provides at least three new degrees of freedom in the search for advanced materials (beyond adjusting static pressures and temperatures), namely: laser-excitation/cleavage of chemical bonds, time-dependent reaction kinetics via pulsed lasers, and pressure-dependent chemical kinetics. All of these broaden the synthetic phase space considerably. Through LRS-DAC experimentation, it is possible to obtain increased understanding of high-pressure chemical kinetics—and even the nature of chemical bonding itself. Here, LRS-DAC experimental methods are reviewed, along with the underlying chemistry/physics of high-pressure microchemical reactions. A chronology of key events influencing the development of LRS-DAC systems is provided, together with a summary of novel materials synthesised, and unusual chemical reactions observed. Current gaps in knowledge and emerging opportunities for further research are also suggested.

Abstract:

We conductedin situRaman spectroscopy study on ammonia borane loaded in diamond anvil cell (DAC). The ammonia borane was decomposed at around 140 degree Celsius under the pressure ~0.7 GPa. Raman spectra show the hydrogen was desorbed within 1 hour at 140 degree Celsius. The hydrogen was sealed in the DAC well and cooled down near to room temperature. Applying higher pressure up to ~10 GPa indicates interactions between the products and loss of dihydrogen bonding. No rehydrogenation was detected in the pressure range investigated.Keywords: Ammonia borane; Diamond anvil cell; High pressure; Phase transition

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper suggests a novel route to approach the cold compression curve in laser-plasma induced shock waves. This effect is achieved with a precompression in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). In order to keep the necessary structure of one dimensional shock wave it is required to use a diamond anvil cell with a partially perforated diamond anvil. Precompression pressures of about 50 GPa, that are an order of magnitude higher than the currently reported pressures, are possible to obtain with presentley existing diamond anvil cell technology. The precompressed Hugoniot of Al was calculated for different precompression pressures and it was found that at precompression pressure of 50 GPa the Hugoniot follows the “cold curve” up to about 2 Mbar and 5.2 g/cc. Furthermore, the thermal relative contribution on the Hugoniot curves is calculated.

Abstract:

During the past quarter-century, the field of high pressure research has undergone a quiet revolution. This has resulted from the creation and development of the diamond-anvil cell (DAC). Because diamonds are the hardest known materials, the highest static pressures can be attained and indefinitely held in these devices, recent pressure records have surpassed 400 GPa.

Abstract:

Tuning the energy density of matter at high pressures gives rise to exotic and often unprecedented properties, e.g., structural transitions, insulator–metal transitions, valence fluctuations, topological order, and the emergence of superconductivity. The study of specific heat has long been used to characterize these kinds of transitions, but their application to the diamond anvil cell (DAC) environment has proved challenging. Limited work has been done on the measurement of specific heat within DACs, in part due to the difficult experimental setup. To this end, we have developed a novel method for the measurement of specific heat within a DAC that is independent of the DAC design and is, therefore, readily compatible with any DACs already performing high pressure resistance measurements. As a proof-of-concept, specific heat measurements of the MgB2 superconductor were performed, showing a clear anomaly at the transition temperature ( T c), indicative of bulk superconductivity. This technique allows for specific heat measurements at higher pressures than previously possible.

An incident beam X-ray collimator for Mao-Bell type diamond anvil cell (DAC) has been developed. Alignment of the collimator is carried out in situ while viewing the image of the collimated X-ray spot formed on a thin layer of fluorescent material spread on the diamond anvil culets with the help of a microscope. Special precaution has been taken to meet the radiation safety requirements during alignment and routine use. This collimator is of immense help for laboratory based high pressure X-ray diffraction experiments.

Abstract:

This paper presents an integrated measuring system combining a diamond anvil cell (DAC) and a high overtone bulk acoustic resonator (HBAR) operating at the microwave frequency band as 2.8–8.8 GHz. We have studied several metallic (W, Zr) and semiconductor (Si) samples under pressure up to ∼16 GPa. As an HBAR, we have used the “Al/Al0.72Sc0.28N/Mo/(100) diamond” structure utilizing a piezoelectric aluminum–scandium nitride film. We have observed that under pressure, the Q-factor of the HBAR decreases but remains at the value of 2500–3000, which is suitable for our experiments. It is demonstrated that the above system can be used for studying the behavior of various solids under high pressure, the pressure-induced phase transition in Zr, the registration of plastic deformations, and their relaxation in metals. Here, we discussed the phenomenon of an acoustic wave passing through a tungsten layer under a pressure of ∼5.5 GPa. The integrated DAC&HBAR measuring system has demonstrated some practical advantages over known ultrasonic systems combined with the DAC as the possibility of applying a microwave operational frequency, the measurement of a Q-factor change under pressure, and the miniature size of a sensitive HBAR element. The application of the built-in DAC&HBAR system will hopefully allow more accurate studies on materials in the GPa pressure range of a DAC.

Abstract:

The field of high-pressure materials research has grown steadily over the last seven decades, with many remarkable discoveries having been made. This work is part II of a three-part series summarising recent progress in laser material processing within diamond anvil cells (L-DACs); this article focuses on the practice of laser-driven dynamic compression within diamond anvil cells (i.e., LDC–DAC experimentation). In this case, materials are initially pre-compressed within diamond anvil cells, then further dynamically compressed through the use of a high-power pulsed laser, often with the intent to isentropically compress, rather than to heat samples. The LDC–DAC approach provides a novel route to much higher dynamic pressures (approaching 1 TPa), as compared to conventional static compression within a single-stage DAC (<300 GPa) and provides a route to mapping Hugoniot curves. Recent proliferation of low-cost, high-power laser sources has led to increased research activity in LDC–DAC materials processing over the last two decades. Through LDC–DAC experiments, a greater understanding of the properties/structure of cold- and warm-dense matter has been obtained, and novel material phases have been realised. In this article, LDC–DAC experimental methods are reviewed, together with the underlying physics of laser dynamic compression in confined spaces. In addition, a chronology of important events in the development of LDC–DAC processing is provided, and emerging trends, gaps in knowledge, and suggestions for further work are considered.

Abstract:

Pair distribution function (PDF) methods have great potential for the study of diverse high-pressure phenomena. However, the measurement of high-quality, high-resolution X-ray PDF data (toQmax > 20 Å−1) remains a technical challenge. An optimized approach to measuring high-pressure total scattering data for samples contained within a diamond anvil cell (DAC) is presented here. This method takes into account the coupled influences of instrument parameters (photon energy, detector type and positioning, beam size/shape, focusing), pressure-cell parameters (target pressure range, DAC type, diamonds, pressure-transmitting media, backing plates, pressure calibration) and data reduction on the resulting PDF. The efficacy of our approach is demonstrated by the high-quality, high-pressure PDFs obtained for representative materials spanning strongly and weakly scattering systems, and crystalline and amorphous samples. These are the highest-resolution high-pressure PDFs reported to date and include those for α-alumina (toQmax = 20 Å−1), BaTiO3(toQmax= 30 Å−1) and pressure-amorphized zeolite (toQmax = 20 Å−1).

The diffraction data collected in this cell using hot neutrons are of very good quality and can be used for a full and reliable structure refinement.

Abstract:

The inhomogeneity in pressure inside the sample chamber of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) poses a major challenge to the accurate measurement of the properties of materials under high pressures, especially when the pressure medium solidifies under compression or is prohibited in the experiment. In this paper, the authors systematically investigate the pressure gradient in a DAC sample chamber and its evolution over time with changes in temperature. The results show that pressure gradients were formed along both the radial and the axial directions upon compression, and gradually decayed with time and increasing temperature. After a period of relaxation at room temperature, the pressure gradient along the axial direction gradually decayed and a new equilibrium was established. A similar process was observed along the radial direction but required a longer period before reaching equilibrium. Appropriate heating of the sample can cut the relaxation time to the order of tens of minutes and smoothen the pressure gradient in both directions. The electrical properties of olivine were significantly different when the measurements were conducted before and after relaxation was complete, indicating that the relaxation in pressure is essential for acquiring reliable data in a DAC under high pressures.

Abstract:

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is increasingly playing a significant role in studying highly correlated systems, especially since it was proven capable of measuring low-energy magnetic excitations. However, despite high expectations for experimental evidence of novel magnetic phases at high pressure, unequivocal low-energy spectral signatures remain obscured by extrinsic scattering from material surrounding the sample in a diamond anvil cell (DAC): pressure media, Be gasket and the diamond anvils themselves. A scattered X-ray collimation based medium-energy resolution (∼100 meV) analyzer system for a RIXS spectrometer at the Ir L 3-absorption edge has been designed and built to remediate these difficulties. Due to the confocal nature of the analyzer system, the majority of extrinsic scattering is rejected, yielding a clean low-energy excitation spectrum of an iridate Sr2IrO4 sample in a DAC cell. Furthermore, the energy resolution of different configurations of the collimating and analyzing optics are discussed.

Abstract:

Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) is a unique material we produce by direct conversion of glassy carbon into diamond at ca. 20 GPa and 2200 K in a multi anvil press. One of precursor materials we use is commercially available in the form of glassy carbon balls with a diameter of 20 to 50 microns. NCD demonstrates superior mechanical properties (e.g. extremely high yield strength under confining pressure) and has been successfully used for ultra-high static pressure generation (above 600 GPa) in a double-stage diamond anvil cell (DAC) (Ref. 1). To elucidate structure-property relationships in this extremely strong and seemingly inscrutable material we have investigated its microstructure using HRTEM and HAADF-STEM, measured its compressibility by means of synchrotron X-ray diffraction in a DAC, and evaluated its hardness in comparison to that of the hardest known materials - single-crystal diamond and nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD) (Ref. 2). An additional insight into the volume compressibility was obtained due to X-ray phase contrast micro-imaging using a coherent high-energy synchrotron radiation. The established structure-property relationships will be presented and analyzed.

Brillouin scattering spectra and their transverse mode were measured for paraffinic and naphthenic synthetic lubricants, employing a high-pressure diamond anvil cell (DAC). Sound velocity, density, refractive index, and shear modulus under high pressure were obtained. The density obtained from the thermodynamic relation was compared with that from Lorentz-Lorenz‘s formula. The densities were also compared with Dowson‘s density-pressure equation of lubricants. The sound velocity in the transverse mode and shear modulus were obtained for 5P4E up to 2.7 GPa. A slope change in the pressure-sound velocity diagram was confirmed at about 0.3 GPa, which may be associated with crystallizaton of 5P4E, observed through a diamond optical window in the DAC.

Abstract:

A single-crystal momentum-resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) experiment under high pressure using an originally designed diamond anvil cell (DAC) is reported. The diamond-in/diamond-out geometry was adopted with both the incident and scattered beams passing through a 1 mm-thick diamond. This enabled us to cover wide momentum space keeping the scattering angle condition near 90°. Elastic and inelastic scattering from the diamond was drastically reduced using a pinhole placed after the DAC. Measurement of the momentum-resolved RIXS spectra of Sr2.5Ca11.5Cu24O41at the CuK-edge was thus successful. Though the inelastic intensity becomes weaker by two orders than the ambient pressure, RIXS spectra both at the center and the edge of the Brillouin zone were obtained at 3 GPa and low-energy electronic excitations of the cuprate were found to change with pressure.

Abstract:

The diamond-anvil cell (DAC) was invented 60 years ago, ushering in a new era for material sciences, extending research into the dimension of pressure. Most structural determinations and chemical research have been conducted at ambient pressure, i.e. the atmospheric pressure on Earth. However, modern experimental techniques are capable of generating pressure and temperature higher than those at the centre of Earth. Such extreme conditions can be used for obtaining unprecedented chemical compounds, but, most importantly, all fundamental phenomena can be viewed and understood from a broader perspective. This knowledge, in turn, is necessary for designing new generations of materials and applications, for example in the pharmaceutical industry or for obtaining super-hard materials. The high-pressure chambers in the DAC are already used for a considerable variety of experiments, such as chemical reactions, crystallizations, measurements of electric, dielectric and magnetic properties, transformations of biological materials as well as experiments on living tissue. Undoubtedly, more applications involving elevated pressure will follow. High-pressure methods become increasingly attractive, because they can reduce the sample volume and compress the intermolecular contacts to values unattainable by other methods, many times stronger than at low temperature. The compressed materials reveal new information about intermolecular interactions and new phases of single- and multi-component compounds can be obtained. At the same time, high-pressure techniques, and particularly those of X-ray diffraction using the DAC, have been considerably improved and many innovative developments implemented. Increasingly more equipment of in-house laboratories, as well as the instrumentation of beamlines at synchrotrons and thermal neutron sources are dedicated to high-pressure research.

Abstract:

Temperature induced pressure drift in the diamond anvil cell (DAC) is a major issue in high-pressure high-temperature experiments. It is commonly acknowledged that these drifts originate from multiple factors, but no systematic descriptions have been made so far. By introducing an internal water-cooling system in the DAC, we have performed a systematic investigation into temperature induced pressure drifts to reveal the mechanism behind them and to find a proper experimental procedure to achieve minimal pressure variation in DAC’s heating experiment. It is revealed in this experiment that pressure variation during heating processes originates from multiple temperature related factors of the DAC. The variation itself can be considered as a rebalancing process of the compression forces on the sample chamber initiated by the disturbance caused by temperature elevation. It is possible to suppress pressure variation by maintaining the temperature of the DAC body at room temperature to ensure the consistency of compression on the sample chamber. At the same time, the best procedure for the heating experiments is to properly pre-heat the sample chamber equipped with the internal water-cooling system before performing the in situ measurements on the temperature-related properties at the pressurized and heated conditions. Our discovery provides a reliable procedure for the sample heating process in the DAC and helps resolve the complex mystery of the influence of the combination of pressure and temperature in high-pressure high-temperature experiments.

Abstract:

The experiment under high pressure using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) requires the utilization of synchrotron radiation. High-pressure experiments were performed using a DAC on CdS microcrystals, both in the far-IR and in the X-ray regions, in order to study the lattice dynamics and lattice stability concerned with the phase transitions. From these experiments, experimental evidence is presented indicating that a CdS microcrystal of smaller diameter shows a higher transition pressure for lattice transformation under pressure. The origin of such an increase in the transition pressure in the microcrystals is discussed in relation to the surface tension.

Abstract:

A method to separate the non-resonant inelastic X-ray scattering signal of a micro-metric sample contained inside a diamond anvil cell (DAC) from the signal originating from the high-pressure sample environment is described. Especially for high-pressure experiments, the parasitic signal originating from the diamond anvils, the gasket and/or the pressure medium can easily obscure the sample signal or even render the experiment impossible. Another severe complication for high-pressure non-resonant inelastic X-ray measurements, such as X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy, can be the proximity of the desired sample edge energy to an absorption edge energy of elements constituting the DAC. It is shown that recording the scattered signal in a spatially resolved manner allows these problems to be overcome by separating the sample signal from the spurious scattering of the DAC without constraints on the solid angle of detection. Furthermore, simple machine learning algorithms facilitate finding the corresponding detector pixels that record the sample signal. The outlined experimental technique and data analysis approach are demonstrated by presenting spectra of the SiL2,3-edge and OK-edge of compressed α-quartz. The spectra are of unprecedented quality and both the OK-edge and the SiL2,3-edge clearly show the existence of a pressure-induced phase transition between 10 and 24 GPa.

To have a clear understanding of the effect of electrode resistivity on the in-situ resistivity measurement under high pressure in a diamond anvil cell (DAC), we perform finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the distribution of the steady current field in sample. The theoretical analysis reveals the origin of the effect. It is caused by the resistivity difference between electrodes and sample. And the more the difference of their resistivity is, the more obvious the effect is. All these will result in large resistivity error. However we find that reducing the resistivity difference between the electrode and sample can improve the results.

Abstract:

A diamond anvil cell (DAC) made of reinforced plastic has been developed for magneto-photoluminescence experiments in pulsed high magnetic fields. Our DAC has a standard and simple structure equipped with a stainless steel gasket. We have made magneto-photoluminescence experiments of CdTe / Cd 0.8 Mn 0.2 Te multiple quantum wells up to 41 T at 4.2 K in the pressure range 0 to 2.3 GPa. We found that the effect of the eddy current heating of the gasket can be negligible small when we use the pulsed field whose duration is a few tens of milliseconds or longer. We have also found that the exciton Zeeman shift strongly depends on the pressure, which can be a manifestation of the enhancement of the sp-d and d-d exchange interactions in the Gd 0.8 Mn 0.2 Te layer by applying high pressures.

Abstract:

AbstractMetal–silicate partitioning studies performed in high-pressure, laser-heated diamond anvil cells (DAC) are commonly used to explore element distribution during planetary-scale core–mantle differentiation. The small run-products contain suitable areas for analysis commonly less than tens of microns in diameter and a few microns thick. Because high spatial resolution is required, quantitative chemical analyses of the quenched phases is usually performed by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Here, EPMA is being used at its spatial limits, and sample thickness and secondary fluorescence effects must be accounted for. By using simulations and synthetic samples, we assess the validity of these measurements, and find that in most studies DAC sample wafers are sufficiently thick to be characterized at 15 kVacc. Fluorescence from metal-hosted elements will, however, contaminate silicate measurements, and this becomes problematic if the concentration contrast between the two phases is in excess of 100. Element partitioning experiments are potentially compromised; we recommend simulating fluorescence and applying a data correction, if required, to such DAC studies. Other spurious analyses may originate from sources external to the sample, as exemplified by 0.5 to >1 wt% of Cu arising from continuum fluorescence of the Cu TEM grid the sample is typically mounted on.

Abstract Single crystals of solid chlorine (Cl2) were synthesized at room temperature and high pressure (HP, P=1.45 GPa) in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). At these conditions Cl2 adapts the same structure as its corresponding low-temperature (LT) ambient pressure modification (T<172 K), as concluded from HP single crystal diffraction experiments. Namely, it crystallizes in an orthorhombic symmetry (Cmce spacegroup) with Cl2 molecules forming monolayers parallel to the bc plane and this structure is preserved up to at least 64 GPa. The pressure of 1.45 GPa is to be considered as a solidification point of liquid Cl2 at room temperature.

Full text

Abstract:

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction, as well as visual observations, in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) using soft metal gaskets or slightly reducing gas environment, have revealed that the olivine-ringwoodite transition in olivines of several compositions take place in two steps: step 1: displacive restacking of the oxygen layers, followed by step 2: diffusive reordering of the cations. The initiation of the phase transition was observed at temperatures as low as 200 °C below the reported temperature for the phase transition under hydrostatic conditions. These observations, especially residual disordered cations, have important implications for deep-focus earthquakes, the ability of ringwoodite to host surprising amounts of water, and possibly the observation of a blue olivine inclusion in a natural diamond from Brazil and in a pallasitic meteorite from Russia.

Below 21 GPa, Li exhibits a direct (the superconducting coefficient, α, Tc∝M−α, is positive), but unusually large isotope effect, whereas between 21 and 26 GPa, lithium shows an inverse superconducting isotope effect. The unusual dependence of the superconducting phase diagram of lithium on its atomic mass opens up the question of whether the lattice quantum dynamic effects dominate the low-temperature properties of dense lithium.

Abstract:

The Extreme Condition beamline (I15) at the Diamond Light Source is a dedicated beamline for powder as well as single crystal diffraction on samples at extreme conditions in pressure or temperature. Single crystal data on either pressurized samples in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) or at ambient conditions are routinely done on a diffractometer scanning φ and ω using X-rays with energies in the range from 20 keV to 80 keV. Depending on the sample beam sizes varying from 20 μm to several 100 μm can be used. Data are recorded with an Atlas CCD (Agilent Technologies) and then treated with the Crysalis software package. In this contribution we highlight the very high accuracy of single-crystals data obtainable at I15 on two examples of single crystals in a DAC (E = 40 keV) and a sample at ambient conditions (E = 60 keV). A single crystal of the binary transition metal compound FeGe (B20 structure, space group P213, Z=4) was studied up to 11 GPa to determine the evolution of the inter-atomic distances (both atoms occupy the 4a Wyckoff positions). More than 200 unique data could be used to refine 7 parameters with an average R1 on all data of ~7%. Very high quality data have also been obtained for single crystals from the field of chemical crystallography, for which not only connectivity but also small bonding features can be detected. For example in l,6;8,13 biscarbonyl[14]annulene the progressive loss of aromatic character could be monitored and, in a special setup, the data allowed for the refinement of an unconstrained multipolar model. The use of 60 keV photons was crucial for an experiment on natural diamonds containing a variety of inclusions. At these energies the absorption of the diamond can be neglected. The aim of the study was to obtain information on possible recurrent crystallographic relationships between the inclusions and the diamond host on a significant number of extremely rare natural diamonds containing minerals.

Abstract:

AbstractUltrahigh-pressure and -temperature (P-T) experimental techniques have progressed rapidly in recent years. By combining them with X-ray diffraction measurements at synchrotron radiation facilities, it is now possible to examine deep Earth mineralogy in situ at relevant high P-T conditions in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell (DAC). The lowermost part of the mantle, known as the D″ layer, has long been enigmatic because of a number of unexplained seismological features. Nevertheless, the discovery of a phase transition from MgSiO3 perovskite to ‘post-perovskite’ above 120 GPa and 2400 K indicates that post-perovskite is a principal constituent in the lowermost mantle, which is compatible with seismic observations. The ultrahigh P-T conditions of the Earth’s core have not been accessible by static experiments, but the structure and phase transition of Fe and Fe-alloys are now being examined up to 400 GPa and 6000 K by laser-heated DAC studies.

Abstract:

Vibrational spectroscopy is used in Earth science for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. This report focuses on infrared (IR) spectroscopy, although similar efforts are on-going in Raman spectroscopy.Qualitative studies utilize the fact that the vibrational spectrum is a characteristic of a material: hence comparison to a set of standards allows for identification of the phase. Most of these types of studies in Earth science involve macrosamples, but measurements of microsamples from meteorites are on interest in order to identify the structure of SiC inclusions and the type of organic compounds in interplanetary dust. As most of these samples are micron sized, which is below the diffraction limit for the mid-IR, the approach has been to compress the sample using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) into a disk of sub-micron thickness, adhere the sample to a KBr plate, and to subsequently remove the disk from the DAC and obtain spectra with the aid of an FTIR microscope.

High-pressure in situ angular dispersive x-ray diffraction study on the wurtzite-type InN nanowires has been carried out by means of the image-plate technique and diamond-anvil cell (DAC) up to about 31.8 GPa. The pressure-induced structural transition from the wurtzite to a rocksalt-type phase occurs at about 14.6 GPa, which is slightly higher than the transition pressure of InN bulk materials (∼12.1 GPa). The relative volume reduction at the transition point is close to 17.88%, and the bulk modulus B0 is determined through fitting the relative volume-pressure experimental data related to the wurtzite and rocksalt phases to the Birch–Murnaghan equation of states. Moreover, high-pressure Raman scattering for InN nanowires were also investigated in DAC at room temperature. The corresponding structural transition was confirmed by assignment of phonon modes. We calculated the mode Grüneisen parameters for the wurtzite and rocksalt phases of InN nanowires.

Abstract:

Helium (He) and argon (Ar) are important rare gases and pressure media used in diamond-anvil cell (DAC) experiments. Their thermal conductivity at high pressure–temperature (P-T) conditions is a crucial parameter for modeling heat conduction and temperature distribution within a DAC. Here we report the thermal conductivity of He and Ar over a wide range of high P-T conditions using ultrafast time-domain thermoreflectance coupled with an externally heated DAC. We find that at room temperature the thermal conductivity of liquid and solid He shows a pressure dependence of P0.86 and P0.72, respectively; upon heating the liquid, He at 10.2 GPa follows a T0.45 dependence. By contrast, the thermal conductivity of solid Ar at room temperature has a pressure dependence of P1.25, while a T−1.37 dependence is observed for solid Ar at 19 GPa. Our results not only provide crucial bases for further investigation into the physical mechanisms of heat transport in He and Ar under extremes, but also substantially improve the accuracy of modeling the temperature profile within a DAC loaded with He or Ar. The P-T dependences of the thermal conductivity of He are important to better model and constrain the structural and thermal evolution of gas giant planets containing He.

Abstract:

Sufficiently high completeness of diffraction data is necessary to correctly determine the space group, observe solid-state structural transformations or investigate charge density distribution under pressure. Regrettably, experiments performed at high pressure in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) yield inherently incomplete datasets. The present work systematizes the combined influence of radiation wavelength, DAC opening angle and sample orientation in a DAC on the completeness of diffraction data collected in a single-crystal high-pressure (HP) experiment with the help of dedicated software. In particular, the impact of the sample orientation on the achievable data completeness is quantified and proved to be substantial. Graphical guides for estimating the most beneficial sample orientation depending on the sample Laue class and assuming a few commonly used experimental setups are proposed. The usefulness of these guides has been tested in the case of luminescent 1,3-diacetylpyrene, suspected to undergo transitions from the α phase (Pnma) to the γ phase (Pn21 a) and δ phase (P1121/a) under pressure. Effective sample orientation has ensured over 90% coverage even for the monoclinic system and enabled unrestrained structure refinements and access to complete systematic extinction patterns.

Nitrosonium-nitrate NO+NO3− and dinitrogen pentoxide NO2+NO3− ionic crystals were synthesized by laser heating of a condensed oxygen-rich O2-N2 mixture compressed to different pressures, up to 40 GPa, in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). High-pressure/high-temperature Raman and X-ray diffraction studies of synthesized samples disclosed a transformation of NO+NO3− compound to NO2+NO3− crystal at temperatures above ambient and pressures below 9 GPa. High-pressure experiments revealed previously unreported bands in Raman spectra of NO+NO3− and NO2+NO3− ionic crystals. Structural properties of both ionic compounds are analyzed. Obtained experimental results support a hypothesis of a rotational disorder of NO+ complexes in NO+NO3− and indicate a rotational disorder of ionic complexes in NO2+NO3− solid.
