Sample Environments: High Pressure

Below are the helium-driven membrane diamond anvil cell (DAC) High Pressure (HP) experiments.

Please communicate with beamline scientist for details on how to use the Diamond Anvil Cell for your experiment. We have a limited number of DACs available for users.  Users are expected to prepare/load their sample into the cell. We encourage inexperienced users to collaborate with experts.
Closed-cycle Cryostat (Sumitomo RDK-205E): 5-300 K, 0-20 GPa
  • Limit for stages: θ= -1° , +21° ; χ= -45° , +90° ; Φ= -35° , +135°
HP experiment with DAC: Room Temperature, 110 GPa
  • Limit for stages: θ= -1° , +21° ; χ= -135° , +135° ; Φ= -35° , +135°
HP experiment with HT-DAC (User-provided cell): <1000 K, 110 GPa
  • Limit for stages: θ= -1° , +21° ; χ= -90° , +90° ; Φ= -35° , +135°
