A novel gas-loading system for mechanically closing of various types of diamond anvil cells

Rev Sci Instrum. 2008 Apr;79(4):045110. doi: 10.1063/1.2902506.

Abstract

Loading of gases in diamond anvil cells is a complicated but necessary task to obtain hydrostatic conditions for high-pressure measurements. A simple in operation, safe, and universal gas-loading system has been designed and constructed. Innovations were introduced to simplify the loading procedure up to the "three-button" mode.
