X-ray Measurements at High Temperature and High Pressure Using Diamond Anvil Cell.

This paper reviews the important technical improvements accomplished during these ten years mainly in the field of the use of the diamond anvil cell at high temperature and pressure X-ray measurements.A brief historical introduction to devices are presented in Sec.1.The improvements in the design of the diamond anvil are reviewed in Sec. 2. The improvements of heating technique, especially laser heating are reviewed in Sec.3.Various high temperature diamond anvil high pressure cells are reviewed in Sec. 4.
