Intensity of the focused beam `tail' interacts and scatters from the gasket material. These crystalline materials made from high- Z elements produce intense X-ray diffraction signal even if only the strongly reduced The contents of sample chambers up to target pressures, which often exceed 1 Mbar.įor this reason, gaskets are often made of strong metals such as Re, W or steel. Ideally consist of a material with high yield strength and good ductility to support The gasket, containing a sample chamber, should by improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) through the improvement of the DAC assembly.Īmong numerous aspects related to the design of the DAC assembly, the choice of a In parallel, the high-pressure community contributes to the development, e.g. a sub-micrometre focal size with high photon flux, are gradually being addressed through the upgrade programs of the major synchrotronįacilities transforming to diffraction-limited storage rings (DLSRs), such as ESRF-EBS The technical demands of the high-pressure research community, i.e. Modern large-scale facilities, such as synchrotron radiation sources and X-rayįree-electron lasers (XFELs), enable the most sophisticated experiments at extremeĬonditions. (Dubrovinsky et al., 2015 Loubeyre et al., 2020 Ji et al., 2019 Kono et al., 2016 Petitgirard et al., 2019 ). New opportunities for high-pressure physics, chemistry, materials and planetary sciences Increased the range of experimentally achievable pressures and temperatures providing New developments in the field of diamond anvil cell (DAC) technology have significantly Ratio in comparison to that with conventional gaskets made of Re, W, steel or other

Improves various aspects of megabar experiments and, in particular, the signal-to-noise They indicate that the application of Fe 0.79Si 0.07B 0.14 metallic glass gaskets in XRD experiments for both axial and radial geometries substantially Results emphasize the material's importance for a great number of delicate experimentsĬonducted under extreme conditions. Ne, H 2) used as pressure-transmitting media or in those with laser heating in a DAC.

We report that Fe 0.79Si 0.07B 0.14 metallic glass gaskets offer a stable sample environment under compression exceedingġ Mbar in all XRD experiments described here, even in those involving small-molecule In either axial or radial geometry with X-ray beams of micrometre to sub-micrometre With conventional and toroidal-shape diamond anvils. In this work, we studied the performance of gaskets made of metallic glass Fe 0.79Si 0.07B 0.14 in a number of high-pressure X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments in DACs equipped A gasket is an important constituent of a diamond anvil cell (DAC) assembly, responsibleįor the sample chamber stability at extreme conditions for X-ray diffraction studies.
