Diamond Anvil Cell
The Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC) is a high-pressure device allowing to compress micron-sized samples up to extreme conditions, mimicking planetary interiors.
This device is composed of two opposed diamonds compressing a sample placed in a compression chamber. This sample chamber consists is a hole made in a metallic gasket (in our experiments, this gasket is made of Rhenium). Pressure can be increased using a membrane deformed by gas, as in the following picture, or using screws. (...)
