Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a boron-doped diamond (BDD) heater for use in high-pressure environments, which can generate ultra-high temperatures without common issues like oxidation or instability.
- They synthesized BDD materials with varying boron content, achieving stable heating up to approximately 3700 °C at pressures exceeding 10 GPa, while maintaining reproducibility during multiple heating and cooling cycles.
- Although the BDD heater showed lower pressure-generation efficiency compared to traditional heaters, it enables critical experiments on silicates under extreme conditions, helping to explore physical properties such as viscosity in Earth's lower mantle.
