“…X-ray transparent gasket materials, such as beryllium, boron, cBN (Funamori and Sato, 2008), diamond powder (Zou, et al, 2001) and Kapton (Merkel and Yagi, 2005) are used for radial access of the sample. Amorphous boron (Lin, et al, 2003) and bulk metallic glass (He, et al, 2003) are used to eliminate x-ray diffraction peaks from the gasket. For electrical transport studies, insulated gasket materials such as cBN, MgO, or Al 2 O 3 are used (Solli and Jeanloz, 2001), while non-magnetic Cu-Be gasket (Ishizuka, 2005) is often used for magnetic measurements.…”

Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The development of megabar diamond anvil cells and a battery of associated in-laboratory and synchrotron techniques at the turn of the century have opened a vast new window of opportunities. With the addition of the pressure dimension, we are facing a new world with an order of magnitude more materials to be discovered than all that have been explored at ambient pressure. Pressure drastically and categorically alters all elastic, electronic, magnetic, structural, and chemical properties, and pushes materials across conventional barriers between insulators and superconductors, amorphous and crystalline solids, ionic and covalent compounds, vigorously reactive and inert chemicals, etc. In the process, it reveals surprising high-pressure physics and chemistry and creates novel materials. This review describes the principles and methodology used to reach ultrahigh static pressure; the in situ probes, the physical phenomena to be investigated, the longpursued goals, the surprising discoveries, and the vast potential opportunities. Exciting examples include the quest for metallic hydrogen, the record-breaking superconducting temperature of 203 K in HnS, the complication of "free electron gas" alkali metals, the magnetic collapse in 3d transition elements, the pressure-induced topological superconductors, the novel stoichiometry in simple compounds, the interaction of nanoscience, the accomplishment of 750 GPa pressure, etc. These highlights are the integral results of technological achievements, specific measurements, and theoretical advancement; therefore, the same highlights will appear in different sections corresponding to these different aspects. Overall, this review demonstrates that highpressure research is a new dimension in condensed-matter physics. III. Multiple Probes for High P-T In Situ Characterizations A.

“…Using a composite gasket which includes diamond powders [69] or diamond coating on the flat region of the gasket greatly increases the shear strength (σ) and consequently increases the gasket thickness by 2-3 times (equation (2.1)), thus effectively increasing the sample volume. To eliminate the grain boundary fracture and to avoid interference of x-ray scattering from crystalline gasket materials, high-strength bulk metallic glass has been used as gasket to above 100 GPa [70].

Pressure profoundly alters all states of matter. The symbiotic development of ultrahighpressure diamond anvil cells, to compress samples to sustainable multi-megabar pressures; and synchrotron x-ray techniques, to probe materials' properties in situ, has enabled the exploration of rich high-pressure (HP) science. In this article, we first introduce the essential concept of diamond anvil cell technology, together with recent developments and its integration with other extreme environments. We then provide an overview of the latest developments in HP synchrotron techniques, their applications, and current problems, followed by a discussion of HP scientific studies using x-rays in the key multidisciplinary fields. These HP studies include: HP x-ray emission spectroscopy, which provides information on the filled electronic states of HP samples; HP x-ray Raman spectroscopy, which probes the HP chemical bonding changes of light elements; HP electronic inelastic x-ray scattering spectroscopy, which accesses high energy electronic phenomena, including electronic band structure, Fermi surface, excitons, plasmons, and their dispersions; HP resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectroscopy, which probes shallow core excitations, multiplet structures, and spin-resolved electronic structure; HP nuclear resonant x-ray spectroscopy, which provides phonon densities of state and time-resolved Mössbauer information; HP x-ray imaging, which provides information on hierarchical structures, dynamic processes, and internal strains; HP x-ray diffraction, which determines the fundamental structures and densities of single-crystal, polycrystalline, nanocrystalline, and non-crystalline materials; and HP radial x-ray diffraction, which yields deviatoric, elastic and rheological information. Integrating these tools with hydrostatic or uniaxial pressure media, laser and resistive heating, and cryogenic cooling, has enabled investigations of the structural, vibrational, electronic, and magnetic properties of materials over a wide range of pressure-temperature conditions.

“…Their properties highlight them as potential candidates for very efficient gasket materials. Gaskets made of metallic glass with the chemical composition Pd 40 Ni 40 P 20 were successfully used in static high-pressure X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments beyond 1 Mbar (He et al, 2003). Another amorphous metal, Fe 0.79 Si 0.07 B 0.14 , with a significantly lower average number of electrons per atom, was recently used in dynamic high-pressure experiments and showed sufficient stability above 1 Mbar and temperatures > 1000 K (Me ´ndez et al, 2020).…”

A gasket is an important constituent of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) assembly, responsible for the sample chamber stability at extreme conditions for X-ray diffraction studies. In this work, we studied the performance of gaskets made of metallic glass Fe0.79Si0.07B0.14 in a number of high-pressure X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments in DACs equipped with conventional and toroidal-shape diamond anvils. The experiments were conducted in either axial or radial geometry with X-ray beams of micrometre to sub-micrometre size. We report that Fe0.79Si0.07B0.14 metallic glass gaskets offer a stable sample environment under compression exceeding 1 Mbar in all XRD experiments described here, even in those involving small-molecule gases (e.g. Ne, H2) used as pressure-transmitting media or in those with laser heating in a DAC. Our results emphasize the material's importance for a great number of delicate experiments conducted under extreme conditions. They indicate that the application of Fe0.79Si0.07B0.14 metallic glass gaskets in XRD experiments for both axial and radial geometries substantially improves various aspects of megabar experiments and, in particular, the signal-to-noise ratio in comparison to that with conventional gaskets made of Re, W, steel or other crystalline metals.
