From the pioneering work of Bridgman, during the early part of this century (Bridgman 1971), until the late 1960s, massive hydraulicly driven Bridgman-anvil and piston-cylinder devices dominated high-pressure science. Although there were later improvements in design, such as multi-anvil devices, it was not until the advent of the gasketed diamond-anvil cell, in the mid 1960s, that high-pressure studies were possible in non-specialized laboratories. Diamond has remarkable properties; not only is it the hardest known material it is...
