The Use of Sintered Diamond Anvils in the MA8 Type High-pressure Apparatus

  • Chapter
Experimental Techniques in Mineral and Rock Physics

Abstract

A new multi-anvil type high-presure apparatus has been developed using sintered diamond anvils to generate pressures over 30 GPa and temperatures up to about 2000°C. A maximum sample volume of about 1 mm3 is available in this system. The pressure was confirmed by dissociation of forsterite into Mg-perovskite and periclase. The basic techniques and problems in utilizing sintered diamond in the MA8 type high-pressure apparatus are discussed with an emphasis on the future prospect of incorporating simultaneous X-ray diffraction observation.
