二级6-8型静高压装置厘米级腔体的设计原理与实验研究

利用大腔体静高压装置的实验数据,提出了"极限压缩体积比"的概念以及腔体与组装设计的一般性原理。通过对极限压缩体积比的分析,设计出了样品腔体达到厘米级的36/20(正八面体传压介质边长为36mm/末级压砧正三角形截角边长为20mm)组装。采用原位电阻观测Bi(Ⅲ-Ⅴ,7.7GPa),ZnTe(Ⅰ-Ⅱ,5GPa;Ⅱ-Ⅲ,8.9~9.5GPa;半导体-金属,11.5~13.0GPa)和ZnS(半导体-金属,15.6GPa)在高压下相变的方法,标定了36/20组装的腔体压力。实验结果表明所设计样品腔的尺寸大于10mm,压力可以达到15GPa以上。本工作使得基于国产6×2 500t(吨)铰链式六面顶压机的二级6-8型静高压装置在高压实验研究中具有更加广阔的应用前景。     

基于国产铰链式六面顶压机的大腔体静高压技术研究进展

大腔体压机技术因具有静水压性好、样品尺寸大、样品腔内压力与温度分布均匀,且可与同步辐射X射线、中子衍射、超声测量等技术结合对样品进行原位测量等优点,越来越受到高压领域科研工作者的青睐。国内大腔体压机技术多基于国产铰链式六面顶压机构架,国产六面顶压机常规一级压腔所能产生的压力极限较低,约为6GPa,在一定程度上制约了国内高压科学及相关学科的发展。近几年,基于国产六面顶压机,设计了两种一级压腔增压系统,集成了6-8型二级压腔加压装置。目前,在提供厘米量级样品的前提下,设计的两种一级压腔所能达到的最高压力约为10GPa;若采用硬质合金二级顶锤,设计的6-8型二级压腔所能达到的最高压力约为20GPa。最近,自行设计并制备了可产生高于50GPa压力的多晶金刚石二级顶锤,采用此种顶锤将基于国产六面顶压机构建的二级加压系统的压力标定至35GPa,拓展了国内大腔体静高压技术的压力产生范围。     

利用围压提高二级大腔体静高压装置压力极限的初步实验探索

采用基于国产铰链式六面顶压机二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置中的10/4(即八面体传压介质边长为10mm,二级WC-Co硬质合金立方块截角边长为4mm)组装,选择不同的围压材料和传压硬质合金台棱、圆片,在室温下用ZnTe的高压相变对压腔进行了压力标定。实验结果表明,叶蜡石是较合适的围压材料;但由于传压台棱、圆片自身强度的限制,及一级压腔形成的围压值较低等原因,致使实验没有达到预期的末级压砧围压增强效果。通过结合两种压腔的力学简化模型分析得知,围压材料与二级增压装置的预密封边共同形成了二级压腔的密封边,该大面积密封边消耗了系统的大部分加载力,因此在围压实验中没有观测到二级6-8型大腔体静高压装置压力极限的提高。     

二级6-8型静高压装置厘米级腔体内置石墨加热组装的设计与实验研究

基于铰链式六面顶压机的二级6-8模超高压大腔体内置加热元件的设计与温度标定

 首次报道了一种新型的基于铰链式六面顶压机的二级6-8模大腔体静高压装置的内置加热元件的设计与温度标定。此加热组装结构简单,升温快,保温效果好,并有效地解决了国外基于两面顶压机构架下的二级6-8模内加热组装中热电偶在施加压力时易断的问题。以低成本的碳管为加热元件,采用直接和间接两种加热方式,用双铂铑（Pt6%Rh-Pt30%Rt）B型热电偶进行温度测量,并根据实验过程中加热功率与腔内实际温度的关系,对不同压力下腔体内的温度进行了标定。实验结果表明：此加热系统的油压达到40 MPa（腔体压力约10 GPa）时,温度可以达到1 700 ℃以上;在油压为30 MPa、样品室温度为1 000 ℃时,保温时间可达2 h,甚至更长;实验中获得样品的直径可达3 mm,高度可达7 mm,实现了在高温超高压条件下大样品的制备,满足了实验对产生高温超高压条件的需要。     

二级6—8型大腔体装置的高压发生效率机理研究

利用自行设计与集成的二级6—8型大腔体静高压装置,研究了影响八面体压腔高压发生效率的主要因素及机理,并提出了一种八面体压腔密封的简化力学模型.针对于10/4（八面体传压介质边长为10 mm,二级WC立方体增压块截角边长为4 mm）组装的实验结果发现：预密封边尺寸会显著影响八面体压腔的压力产生效率;在腔体压力为12 GPa左右时,高压发生效率随八面体MgO传压介质初始密度的增加而提高;在15 GPa以上时,影响压力产生效率的主要因素是WC增压立方块本身的强度以及加压过程中所形成密封边的尺寸及材料. 关键词： 6—8型大腔体静高压装置 压力产生效率

Low‐temperature and high-pressure apparatus developed at ISSP,University of Tokyo

A high-pressure apparatus with cubic-anvil device has been successfully working for more than 10 years at low temperatures down to 2?K under quasi-hydrostatic pressure up to 10?GPa in study of solid-state physics. Main parts of it are composed of a set of compact cubic-anvils, a top-loading high-pressure cryostat and a 250?ton press. All the particulars of the cubic-anvil apparatus are given, including pressure calibrations at low temperature.     

FEM study on a double-beveled anvil and its application to synthetic diamonds

A new double-beveled anvil for the synthesis of high-quality diamonds has been described, which is used in a China-type large-volume, cubic-anvil, high-pressure apparatus (LV-CHPA, SPD-6X2000). Our results indicate that the pressure generation of a double-beveled anvil is more efficient than that of a single-beveled anvil. To gain the same cell pressure (5.5 GPa), the oil pressure of LV-CHPA using double-beveled anvils decreased by about 10%, compared to using single-beveled anvils. Furthermore, a double-beveled anvil can pressurize a cubic cell of 36 mm³ up to about 6.0 GPa, and simultaneously can increase the temperature up to 1360°C for routine operation. This provides considerable advantages to the synthesis of high-quality diamonds under ultra-high-pressure conditions with the same hydraulic rams.     

六面顶压机立方压腔内压强的定量测量及受力分析

将六面顶压机立方压腔内置入电路,采用原位电阻测量确定Bi,Tl,Ba相变的方法,标定了压腔内不同位置的压力(强).通过标定立方压腔顶锤表面的压力并结合计算,分别得到了外部加载与压腔密封边受力以及合成腔体受力的对应关系.实验分析结果表明,随着外部加载的增加,当腔体压力达到5 GPa时,消耗在压腔密封边上的加载急剧上升,消耗在合成腔体的加载趋于不变,从而导致立方压腔压力达到上限.利用实验结果,分析了立方压腔在高压下的受力状态,解释了立方压腔的压力难以超过7 GPa的原因.结合立方压腔的几何结构,通过理论分析,提出了采用高体弹模量的物质作为传压介质,同时采用低体弹模量的物质作为密封边提高立方压腔压力上限的可行方案.通过定量标定叶腊石压腔轴向的压力梯度,给出了压腔内沿对称轴不同位置压力值的计算方法,此方法可为高压实验提供更精确的压力数据.     

A large volume cubic press with a pressure-generating capability up to about 10 GPa

A massive cubic press, with a maximum load of 1400 tons on every WC anvil, has been installed at the High Pressure Laboratory of Peking University. High-P experiments have been conducted to examine the performance of the conventional experimental setup and some newly developed assemblies adopting the anvil-preformed gasket system. The experimental results suggest that (1) the conventional experimental setup (assembly BJC2-0) can reach pressures up to about 6 GPa with a large cell volume of 34.33 cm³; (2) the anvil-preformed gasket system, despite decreasing the P-generating efficiency, extends the P-generating capability up to about 8 GPa at the expense of reducing the cell volume down to 8.62 cm³ (assembly BJC2-6); (3) due to the large cell volume, it is possible to make further modifications to extend the pressure range, as readily demonstrated, to about 10 GPa (assembly BJC5-7); (4) the effect of high temperature on the pressure generation of the press is not significant. It follows that this cubic press can be very useful in synthesizing materials of large volume at high pressures and to the studies such as high-P phase equilibrium, trace element partitioning and isotope fractionation in the research fields of Earth and planetary sciences.     

High pressure synthesis at 10 GPa and 1400 K using a small cubic anvil apparatus with a multi-anvil 6-6 system

In the present study, high pressure synthesis up to 10 GPa was done using a small cubic anvil apparatus (W45×D52×H92 cm³, load capacity of 1.80 MN) with a multi-anvil 6-6 system. Its performance was demonstrated by synthesizing a ferromagnetic perovskite oxide, CaCu₃Fe₄O₁₂, at pressure–temperature conditions of 10 GPa and 1400 K. The synthesized CaCu₃Fe₄O₁₂ perovskite was ～1 mm in diameter and ～2 mm in height and its size was large enough for performing magnetic susceptibility measurements at 5–300 K using a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer and phase identification by X-ray diffraction. The experimental system developed in the present study has many advantages when used in high pressure synthesis experiments, and the technical development of a small cubic anvil apparatus will greatly contribute to the advancement of high pressure synthesis of novel materials.     

A simple opposed-anvil apparatus for high pressure and temperature experiments above 10 GPa

A new opposed-anvil high pressure and temperature apparatus was developed based on the Drickamer-type apparatus. Various improvements were made to increase the sample volume and to generate high pressure and temperature stably and easily. By optimizing components such as the anvil, heater, and gasket, large sample volumes of about 4?mm³ (～10³ times more than that previously obtained with our previous apparatus) were achieved, with compact and light apparatus (outer diameter ? 40?mm; height 31?mm; weight 300?g). Pressures and temperatures up to about 15?GPa and 1700?K can routinely and stably be achieved by using this assembly. In order to extend the pressure range further, sintered diamond was used as an anvil material. As a result, pressures and temperatures of around 38?GPa and 1400?K were achieved, although the sample volume was decreased to about 1.3×10^?1?mm³.     

Raman Investigation of BaWO4-II Phase under Hydrostatic Pressures up to 14.8GPa

The BaW04-17 phase is synthesized at 5.0 GPa and 610~C with a cubic-anvil apparatus and identified by XRD. Raman scattering measurement is carried out to investigate the phase behaviour of a pure BaW04-Ⅱ phase （space group P21/n, Z = 8） under hydrostatic pressures up to 14.8 GPa at ambient temperature. In each spectrum recorded for this phase, 27 Raman modes are observed, and all bands shift toward higher wavenumber with a pressure dependence ranging from 3.8 to 0.2 cm- 1/GPa. No pressure-driven phase transition occurs in the entire pressure range in this study. Our results indicate that the previously reported high pressure phase of Ba WO4 at pressure above about 10 GPa and room temperature （Errandonea et al. Phys. Rev. B 73（2006）224103） is not the BaW04-Ⅱ phase.
