Abstract:
A new setup has been recently developed in the toroidal opposed-anvil device ‘Conac 40’ to perform differential thermal analysis in a high pressure range (0–6 GPa). To evaluate the precision and the reliability of the setup, the high pressure melting curve of germanium and the transition points of α-iron have been investigated up to 5.3 GPa and compared with previous results.
