New Diamond anvil cell For high-pressure and high-temperature in situ studies using X-ray, we have designed a new cell, which would permit you to reach temperatures up to 1500 K with very homogenous heated sample. An external modification permits the use of any Mao-Bell cell. |
 Multianvil press Multianvil/piston cylinder press Recently, the experimental capacity of CeSMEC has increased with the arrival of a Walker modulus. |
 X-ray diffractometer It consists of Bruker GADD/D8 X-ray system with Apex Smart CCD Detector, imaging plate and direct-drive rotating anode.
|
 Raman spectroscopy Raman Spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy can be performed using either a grating of 514 nm or 785 nm. The range of pressure and temperature are similar to those of the X-ray. |
 Laser heating system Laser heating system High pressure synthesis or melting of solids can be performed with laser heating. Two types of CW lasers (CO2-120W and YLF-55W) are available. Temperature can be measured by spectroradiometry to about 3000 K. |
|
High temperature sythesis High-temperature synthesis of small samples can be performed in inert atmosphere to temperatures of 3000 K at ambient pressure. |
