The HT DAC cell in vacuum room at Elettra x-press beam line.
The system include an “High Temperature DAC cell” insert in a Vacuum vessel. The pressure is driven by a membrane controlled remotely.The high-performance heating method use two resistive heaters controlled by a power supply. A band-heater is mounted around the DAC body and use electrical power of less than 600 W and an internal ceramic ring 200w in power to achieve sample temperatures up to 1000K. For temperature measurement the system use K-type thermocouple mounted near the sample.
The cell is insert in a vacuum room with optical access windows, (Maylar and Kapton) The vacuum room permit to avoid the oxidation of materials specially diamonds anvil.
The power supply that control the heaters can be monitored remotely by a PC linked to a LAN.
