Miniature diamond anvil pressure cell for single crystal x-ray diffraction studies
Abstract
A new miniature gasketed diamond anvil high pressure cell has been constructed to perform optical and x-ray diffraction studies on single crystals under hydrostatic pressure. For x-ray studies the cell is mounted on a standard goniometer head which may be attached to either a standard precession camera or single crystal orienter taking advantage of counting methods. The pressure cell has been used successfully in the study of the two high pressure phases of calcium carbonate, CaCO3(II) and CaCO3(III).

“Historically, it is noticeable that miniaturized DAC for single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction purposes (i.e. the Merrill‐ Bassett DAC; Merrill & Bassett, 1974) was developed specifically to solve the structure of the CaCO 3 ‐II polymorph (Bassett, 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
