(a) The DAC high-pressure chamber containing a sample crystal (white), a calibration standard (pink) and filled with the hydrostatic fluid (blue); and (b) the photographed cross section through the used gasket made of Inconel-alloy foil, 0.2 mm thick, squeezed to about 0.03 mm with 0.75 mm culets. The indentation of the gasket increases its compressed area, like in bevelled anvils. The dimensions indicated in drawing (a) are: h chamber height, d chamber diameter, D culet diameter. |
