Expertise
1. Diamond Anvil Cells (DACs)
- From ordering diamonds to sample-loaded DACs (installing diamonds, aligning, gasket drilling, sample preparation, sample loading, gas/liquid/cryogenic loading).
- DACs suitable for different experimental techniques (XRD, Raman, IR, XAS, Ultrasonics)
- Wide-angle DACs for liquid and single-crystal studies.
- Miniature DAC for XRD measurements with a Cryostream.
- Range of pressures 0.1-200 GPa.
2. Large Volume Presses
- Multi-anvil Press (up to 22 GPa and 2200 K)
- Paris-Edinburgh Presses
3. High-Temperature Techniques
- External Resistive Heating (up to 600 K)
- Internal Resistive Heating (up to 1200 K)
- Induction Heating (from 800 to 1900 K)
- Laser Heating (from 1200 to 5000 K)
4. Low-Temperature Techniques
- Cryogenic techniques within a diamond anvil cell (down to 10 K)
