Sample heating above 1400 K in a diamond anvil cell

In high-pressure experimental methods, sample heating in the pressure chamber of a diamond anvil cell is an important topic, and numerous efforts have been made to improve and develop new technologies. In this paper, we propose a new type of internal resistance heating technique, the composite heating gasket, prepared by integrating an annular heater into the sample chamber for direct heating of the sample. As the effective heating area covers the entire pressure chamber wall, a relatively quasi-uniform temperature field is formed within the sample chamber. At the same time, the integration design reduces the risk of diamond oxidation and enables direct measurement of the spectroscopic properties of samples at high temperatures. The preparation of the composite heating gasket is simple and repeatable, and its heating performance is stable at temperatures above 1400 K. When the sample diameter is 210 μm and no thermal insulation is used, the diameter of the temperature zone in which the temperature difference is less than 10 and 20 K exceeds 120 and 170 μm, respectively. The composite heating gasket represents a significant advancement in providing a uniform temperature field for in situ measurements with diamond anvil cells at high pressure and temperature.
