Recent updates about the high pressure crystallography at GSECARS 13-BM-C

POSTER

Abstract

The high pressure crystallographic research program at GSECARS 13-BM-C is dedicated to structural science and diamond anvil cell. Supported by NSF's SEES program, 13-BM-C provides focused X-rays at a fixed energy of 28.6 keV, a unique 6-circle heavy duty diffractometer and a state-of-the-art Pilatus3 1M photon counting detectors with Si and CdTe sensors, optimized for a variety of advanced crystallography experiments. A suite of auxiliary equipment including a compact multipurpose optical table and remote membrane-based pressure control have been installed to automate the experiments. Resistive and laser heating and liquid-nitrogen cryogenic capabilities have been commissioned to provide high/low temperature sample environments for the study of the planetary interior.
