ABSTRACTWe have measured the pressure dependence of the solid phase epitaxial growth (SPEG) rate of self-implanted Si (100) by using the in-situ time-resolved reflectivity technique [1] in a hightemperature and high-pressure diamond anvil cell (DAC). With fluid argon as the pressure transmission medium, a clean and perfectly hydrostatic pressure environment is achieved around the sample. The external heating geometry employed in the DAC provides a uniform temperature across the sample. At temperatures in the range of 530 – 550 °C and pressure up to 50 kbars (5 GPa), the growth rate is enhanced by up to a factor of ten over that at 1 atmosphere pressure. The results are characterized by a negative activation volume of approximately −3.0 cm3/mole (−27% of the atomic volume). These preliminary results show a significantly weaker pressure dependence than does the previous work of Nygren et al. [2], who found an activation volume of −8.7 cm3/mole. The implications of these results for the nature of the defect responsible for thermal SPEG and irradiation enhanced SPEG is discussed.

An overview of several innovations regardingin situlaser-heating techniques in the diamond anvil cell at the high-pressure beamline ID27 of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility is presented. Pyrometry measurements have been adapted to allow simultaneous double-sided temperature measurements with the installation of two additional online laser systems: a CO2and a pulsed Nd:YAG laser system. This reiteration of laser-heating advancements at ID27 is designed to pave the way for a new generation of state-of-the-art experiments that demand the need for synchrotron diffraction techniques. Experimental examples are provided for each major development. The capabilities of the double pyrometer have been tested with the Nd:YAG continuous-wave lasers but also in a time-resolved configuration using the nanosecond-pulsed Nd:YAG laser on a Fe sample up to 180 GPa and 2900 K. The combination of time-resolved X-ray diffraction within situCO2laser heating is shown with the crystallization of a high-pressure phase of the naturally found pyrite mineral MnS2(11 GPa, 1100–1650 K).

In situ high pressure energy dispersive X-ray diffraction measurements on layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 under pressures up to 35 GPa have been performed by using diamond anvil cell with synchrotron radiation. The results show that the structure of layered perovskite-like manganate Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 is unstable under pressure due to the easy compression of NaCl-type blocks. The structure of Ca 3 Mn 2 O 7 underwent two phase transitions under pressures in the range of 0~35 GPa. One was at about 1.3 GPa with the crystal structure changing from tetragonal to orthorhombic. The other was at about 9.5 GPa with the crystal structure changing from orthorhombic back to another tetragonal.

Vibrational spectroscopy is used in Earth science for both quantitative and qualitative analysis. This report focuses on infrared (IR) spectroscopy, although similar efforts are on-going in Raman spectroscopy.Qualitative studies utilize the fact that the vibrational spectrum is a characteristic of a material: hence comparison to a set of standards allows for identification of the phase. Most of these types of studies in Earth science involve macrosamples, but measurements of microsamples from meteorites are on interest in order to identify the structure of SiC inclusions and the type of organic compounds in interplanetary dust. As most of these samples are micron sized, which is below the diffraction limit for the mid-IR, the approach has been to compress the sample using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) into a disk of sub-micron thickness, adhere the sample to a KBr plate, and to subsequently remove the disk from the DAC and obtain spectra with the aid of an FTIR microscope.

Extensive studies of the crystal-rich inclusions (CIs) hosted in minerals in pegmatite have resulted in substantially different models for the formation mechanism of the pegmatite. In order to evaluate these previously proposed formation mechanisms, the total homogenization processes of CIs hosted in spodumene from the Jiajika pegmatite deposit in Sichuan, China, were observed in situ under external H2O pressures in a new type of hydrothermal diamond-anvil cell (HDAC). The CIs in a spodumene chip were loaded in the sample chamber of HDAC with water, such that the CIs were under preset external H2O pressures during heating to avoid possible decrepitation. Our in situ observations showed that the crystals within the CIs were dissolved in carbonic-rich aqueous fluid during heating and that cristobalite was usually the first mineral being dissolved, followed by zabuyelite and silicate minerals until their total dissolution at temperatures between 500 and 720°C. These observations indicated that the minerals within the CIs were daughter minerals crystallized from an entrapped carbonate- and silica-rich aqueous solution and therefore provided useful information for evaluating the formation models of granitic pegmatites.

This paper describes a methodology for characterizing the orientation and position of grains of an orthorhombic polycrystalline material at high pressure in a diamond anvil cell. The applicability and resolution of the method are validated by simulations and tested on an experimental data set collected on MgSiO3 post-perovskite at 135 GPa. In the simulations, ∼95% of the grains can be indexed successfully with ∼80% of the peaks assigned. The best theoretical average resolutions in grain orientation and position are 0.02° and 1.4 µm, respectively. The indexing of experimental data leads to 159 grains of post-perovskite with 30% of the diffraction peaks assigned with a 0.2–0.4° resolution in grain orientation. The resolution in grain location is not sufficient for in situ analysis of spatial relationships at high pressure. The grain orientations are well resolved and sufficient for following processes such as plastic deformation or phase transformation. The paper also explores the effect of the indexing parameters and of experimental constraints such as rotation range and step on the validity of the results, setting a basis for optimized experiments.
