New diamond cell for single-crystal x-ray diffraction
17th Nov 2006, 06:54 GMT
Reinhard Boehler A new design for a high-precision diamond cell is described. Two kinematically mounted steel disks are elastically deflected to generate pressure. This principle provides higher precision in the diamond anvil alignment than most sliding piston-cylinder or guide-pin devices at significantly lower cos ... [Rev. Sci.
