International audienceWe have implemented an in situ X-ray diffraction analysis method suitable for the determination of pressure-volume-temperature equations of state in the critical case of liquid and amorphous materials over an extended thermodynamic range (T > 2000K and P > 40 GPa). This method is versatile, it can be applied to data obtained using various angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction high pressure apparatus and, contrary to in situ X-ray absorption techniques, is independent from the sample geometry. Further advantage is the fast data acquisition (between 10 and 300 s integration time). Information on macroscopic bulk properties (density) and local atomic arrangement (pair distribution function g(r)) can be gathered in parallel. To illustrate the method, we present studies on liquid Fe-S alloys in the Paris Edinburgh press and in laser-heated diamond anvil cell (DAC), and measurements on Ce glass in DAC at room temperatur
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
