Diamond Anvil Cell
Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC) is an experimental component that generates extreme pressure by compressing a small piece of material with two opposing diamonds. The pressure can normally go up to 100-200 GPa. The goal of this technique is to simulate the deep inside planet environment to synthesize materials and observe phases that don’t happen under a normal ambient atmosphere. The sample is able to be viewed through diamonds and also allows optical measurements, such as X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer, and photoluminescence. Commonly, the sample can be heated by resistance heating up to 1000 °C or laser heating up to 5700 °C. DAC experiments also can be operated at cryogenic temperatures for different purposes.
