Abstract
Several techniques have been developed to obtain x-ray powder diffraction data at high pressures. Reviews of different techniques currently utilized have been given by Bradley [1] and McWhan [2]. Amorphous boron is often used as the gasket material between Bridgman anvils of sintered tungsten carbide [3]. The x-ray system can be of either Debye-Scherrer or Guinier geometry [4–7], preferably with MoKα-radiation. Constructions have been described where the whole press frame and the anvil assembiy can be oscillated [4], but in general the diffraction equipment is designed for fixed samples.
