[Applications of moissanite anvil cell for Raman spectroscopy under high-temperature and high-pressure].

This paper introduces the structure and the feature of moissanite anvil cell, which is composed of moissanite anvil, supporting and creating pressure system, heater system and metal gasket. Because of its high hardness, high heat conductance, low thermal expansion, good thermal stability and low price, moissanite is a good material of anvil for high-temperature and high-pressure experimental studies. With this cell, the Raman spectrum of sodium carbonate solution, sodium sulfate solution and distilled water has been in situ measured under high-temperature and high-pressure.

Phase transformation of methane hydrate under high pressure.

In situ Raman spectroscopy is employed to study the phase behavior of methane hydrate at high pressure. The structure 1 of methane hydrate can be maintained up to 950 MPa at 299 K. The transformation of structure I<-->structure H+water+CH4 occurs at 880 MPa and 323 K.
