Design of
a novel laser heating system for diamond anvil cells
In ultrahigh-pressure research,
the power of an integrated approach is far greater than the sum of
individual techniques. Comprehensive understanding of high-pressure
phenomena relies on the combination of complementary measurements.
Following this integrated approach, apart from implementing this
technique in Spain, for the first time, MALTA will combine
the use of the laser-heating technique with many other experimental
methods, such as x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and optical
absorption measurements. Standard optical spectroscopy techniques (transmission-reflection)
are perturbed by the strong VIS-IR emission of the hot spot. MALTA will also develop
modulated optical probes to overcome
this problem.
