High-brilliance X-ray system for high-pressure in-house research: applications for studies of superhard materials / L. Dubrovinsky, N. Dubrovinskaia, I. Kantor, F. Nestola, G.D. Gatta. - In: HIGH PRESSURE RESEARCH. - ISSN 0895-7959. - 26:2(2006), pp. 137-143.
Abstract:
Newly installed, at Bayerisches Geoinstitut, X-ray system consists of three major components:
RIGAKU FR-D high-brilliance source, Osmic’s Confocal Max-Flux optics, and SMART APEX 4K
CCD area detector. We tested the system for single-crystal structural studies on example of garnet,
Co3Al2Si3O12, for powder diffraction analysis on example of a small sample of boron carbide, B4C,
recovered after treatment in a multi-anvil apparatus, and for in situ experiments at high pressure
on example of FeO compressed in a diamond anvil cell to >100 GPa. In all the cases, the system
demonstrated its reliability and provided results comparable with those obtained using the best currently
available instruments. Using a new X-ray system, we measured the compressibility of superhard
nanocrystalline diamond at pressures up to 26 GPa and found it to be extremely incompressible with
KT = 488(4) GPa, K' = 3.1(2), and V0 = 3.401(6) cm3/mol.
