A new multipurpose miniature diamond anvil high-pressure cell (DAC) has been constructed. The circular DAC has an overall 22-mm diam. and IS-mm height and is comprised of a gasket, opposing diamond anvils each mounted on backing plates, and force rings (platens), The pressure is generated by six Allen-type screws. Pressures up to 38 GPa were achieved with this miniature cell. Design features, mode of operation, and performance are described. A particular application to cryogenic and room temperature 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy is presented.
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.
