Adaption of a diamond anvil cell to an automatic four-circle diffractometer for x-ray diffraction.
A diamond anvil high-pressure device for x-ray diffraction on single crystals under hydrostatic pressures up to about 100 kilobars has been adapted to the automatic four-circle x-ray diffractometer Philips PW 1100. The mechanical adaption, the centering procedure, and quick pressure calibration on the diffractometer are described. Hints to improve the peak-to-background ratio of the intensity measurements are given.
