Pressure calibration for most diamond-anvil cell (DAC) experiments is mainly based on the ruby scale, which is key to implement this powerful tool for high-pressure study. However, the ruby scale can often hardly be used for programmably-controlled DAC devices, especially the piezoelectric-driving cells, where a continuous pressure calibration is required. In this work, we present an effective pressure gauge for DACs made of manganin metal, based on the four-probe resistivity measurements. Pressure dependence of its resistivity is well established and shows excellent linear relations in the 0 - 30 GPa pressure range with a slope of 23.4 (9) GPa for the first-cycle compression, in contrast to that of multiple-cycle compression and decompression having a nearly identical slope of 33.7 (4) GPa likely due to the strain effect. In addition, such-established manganin scale can be used for continuously monitoring the cell pressure of piezoelectric-driving DACs, and the reliability of this method is also verified by the fixed-point method with a Bi pressure standard. Realization of continuous pressure calibration for programmably-controlled DACs would offer many opportunities for study of dynamics, kinetics, and critical behaviors of pressure-induced phase transitions.

Important discoveries have frequently been made through the studies of matter under high pressure. The conditions of the pressure environment are important for the interpretation of the experimental results. Due to various restrictions inside the pre ssure cell, detailed information relevant to the pressure environment, such as the pressure distribution, can be hard to obtain experimentally. Here we present the study of pressure distributions inside the pressure medium under different experimental conditions with NV centers in diamond particles as the sensor. These studies not only show a good spatial resolution, wide temperature and pressure working ranges, compatibility of the existing pressure cell design with the new method, but also demonstrate the usefulness to measure with these sensors as the pressure distribution is sensitive to various factors. The method and the results will benefit many disciplines such as material research and phase transitions in fluid dynamics.
In the laboratory study of extreme conditions of temperature and density, the exposure of matter to high intensity radiation sources has been of central importance. Here we interrogate the performance of multi-layered targets in experiments involving high intensity, hard x-ray irradiation, motivated by the advent of extremely high brightness hard x-ray sources, such as free electron lasers and 4th-generation synchrotron facilities. Intense hard x-ray beams can deliver significant energy in targets having thick x-ray transparent layers (tampers) around samples of interest, for the study of novel states of matter and materials dynamics. Heated-state lifetimes in such targets can approach the microsecond level, regardless of radiation pulse duration, enabling the exploration of conditions of local thermal and thermodynamic equilibrium at extreme temperature in solid density matter. The thermal and mechanical response of such thick layered targets following x-ray heating, including hydrodynamic relaxation and heat flow on picosecond to millisecond timescales, is modelled using radiation hydrocode simulation, finite element analysis, and thermodynamic calculations. Assessing the potential for target survival over one or more exposures, and resistance to damage arising from heating and resulting mechanical stresses, this study doubles as an investigation into the performance of diamond-anvil high pressure cells under high x-ray fluences. Long used in conjunction with synchrotron x-ray radiation and high power optical lasers, the strong confinement afforded by such cells suggests novel applications at emerging high intensity x-ray facilities and new routes to studying thermodynamic equilibrium states of warm, very dense matter.
We report measurements of the temperature- and pressure-dependent resistance, $R(T,p)$, of a manganin manometer in a $^4$He-gas pressure setup from room temperature down to the solidification temperature of $^4$He ($T_textrm {solid}sim$ 50 K at 0.8 G Pa) for pressures, $p$, between 0 GPa and $sim$0.8 GPa. The same manganin wire manometer was also measured in a piston-cylinder cell from 300 K down to 1.8 K and for pressures between 0 GPa to $sim$2 GPa. From these data, we infer the temperature and pressure dependence of the pressure coefficient of manganin, $alpha(T,p)$, defined by the equation $R_p = (1+alpha p) R_0$ where $R_0$ and $R_p$ are the resistance of manganin at ambient pressure and finite pressure, respectively. Our results indicate that upon cooling $alpha$ first decreases, then goes through a broad minimum at $sim$120 K and increases again towards lower temperatures. In addition, we find that $alpha$ is almost pressure-independent for $Tgtrsim$60 K up to $psim$2 GPa, but shows a pronounced $p$ dependence for $Tlesssim$60K. Using this manganin manometer, we demonstrate that $p$ overall decreases with decreasing temperature in the piston-cylinder cell for the full pressure range and that the size of the pressure difference between room temperature and low temperatures ($T=1.8$ K), $Delta p$, decreases with increasing pressure. We also compare the pressure values inferred from the magnanin manometer with the low-temperature pressure, determined from the superconducting transition temperature of elemental lead (Pb). As a result of these data and analysis we propose a practical algorithm to infer the evolution of pressure with temperature in a piston-cylinder cell.
Part I shows that quantitative measurements of heat capacity are theoretically possible inside diamond anvil cells via high-frequency Joule heating (100 kHz to 10 MHz), opening up the possibility of new methods to detect and characterize transformati ons at high-pressure such as the glass transitions, melting, magnetic orderings, or the onset of superconductivity. Here we test the possibility outlined in Part I, using prototypes and detailed numerical models. First, a coupled electrical-thermal numerical model shows that specific heat of metals inside diamond cells can be measured directly using $sim 1$ MHz frequency, with $< 10%$ accuracy. Second, we test physical models of high-pressure experiments, i.e. diamond-cell mock-ups. Metal foils of 2 to 6 $mu$m-thickness are clamped between glass insulation inside diamond anvil cells. Fitting data from 10 Hz to $sim 30$ kHz, we infer the specific heat capacities of Fe, Pt and Ni with $pm 20$ to $30%$ accuracy. The electrical test equipment generates -80 dBc spurious harmonics which overwhelm the thermally-induced harmonics at higher frequencies, disallowing the high precision expected from numerical models. An alternative Joule-heating calorimetry experiment, on the other hand, does allow absolute measurements with $< 10%$ accuracy, despite the -80 dBc spurious harmonics: the measurement of thermal effusivity, $sqrt{rho c k}$ ($rho$, $c$ and $k$ being density, specific heat and thermal conductivity), of the insulation surrounding a thin-film heater. Using a $sim 50$ nm-thick Pt heater surrounded by glass and 10 Hz to 300 kHz frequency, we measure thermal effusivity with $pm 6%$ accuracy inside the sample chamber of a diamond anvil cell.

Single crystal, nanoscale diamond membranes are highly sought after for a variety of applications including nanophotonics, nanoelectronics and quantum information science. However, so far, the availability of conductive diamond membranes remained an unreachable goal. In this work we present a complete nanofabrication methodology for engineering high aspect ratio, electrically active single crystal diamond membranes. The membranes have large lateral directions, exceeding 500x500 um2 and are only several hundreds of nanometers thick. We further realize vertical single crystal p-n junctions, made from the diamond membranes that exhibit onset voltages of ~ 10V and a current of several mA. Moreover, we deterministically introduce optically active color centers into the membranes, and demonstrate for the first time a single crystal nanoscale diamond LED. The robust and scalable approach to engineer the electrically active single crystal diamond membranes, offers new pathways for advanced nanophotonics, nanoelectronics and optomechanics devices employing diamond.
