Laser-heating system for high-pressure X-ray diffraction at the Extreme Conditions beamline I15 at Diamond Light Source
A double-sided, off-axis laser-heating system for monochromatic X-ray diffraction experiments using a diamond anvil cell has been installed at beamline I15 at Diamond Light Source. Measurements of the pressure–temperature phase diagram of Pb demonstrate the reliability of the setup and the high quality of the data.
