Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study is to construct high pressure and high temperature in-situ XAFS measurement system using externally heated diamond anvil cell. We introduced X-ray diffraction measurement system into XAFS beamline at SPring-8 to develop combined XAFS and XRD measurement system. We also developed the heater and the thermal insulator of externally heated diamond anvil cell to perform the experiments at higher temperature than previously achieved.
