A new external heating configuration is presented for high-temperature diamond anvil cell instruments. The supporting rockers are thermally excited by induction from an externally mounted copper coil passing a 30 kHz alternating current. The inductive heating configuration therefore avoids the use of breakable wires, yet is capable of cell temperatures of 1100 K or higher. The diamond anvil cell has no resistive heaters, but uses a single-turn induction coil for elevating the temperature. The induction coil is placed near the diamonds and directly heats the tungsten carbide rockers that support the diamond. The temperature in the cell is determined from a temperature-power curve calibrated by the ratio between the intensities of the Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman lines of silicon. The high-pressure transformation of quartz to coesite is successfully observed by micro-Raman spectroscopy using this apparatus. The induction heating diamond anvil cell is thus a useful alternative to resistively heated diamond anvil cells.

We study ferroelectricity in the classic perovskite ferroelectric PbTiO_{3} to high pressures with density functional theory (DFT) and experimental diamond-anvil techniques. We use second harmonic generation spectroscopy to detect lack of inversion symmetry. Consistent with early understanding and experiments, we find that ferroelectricity disappears at moderate pressures.

The phase changes and reactivity of 1-pentadecene (CH) were investigated using Raman spectroscopy under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions using diamond anvil cells. At room temperature, the phase changes from liquid phase to solid phase I, and solid phase I to solid phase II were observed at 0.3 GPa and 4.

In colloidal quantum dots (QDs), excitons are confined within nanoscale dimensions, and the relaxation of hot electrons occurs through Auger cooling. The behavior of hot electrons is evident under ambient pressure. Nanocrystal characteristics, including their size, are key to determining hot electron behavior because they serve as the stage.

We have synthesized the first hydrous sp-carbonate by laser-heating Ba[CO], CO and HO in a diamond anvil cell at 40(3) GPa. The crystal structure of Ba[HCO][HCO][HCO][HCO] was determined by synchrotron single crystal X-ray diffraction. The experiments were complemented by DFT-based calculations.

High-resolution single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments on ZnSiO(OH)·HO hemimorphite were conducted at high pressure using diamond anvil cells at several different synchrotron facilities (ESRF, Elettra, DESY). Experimental data confirmed the existence of a previously reported phase transition and revealed the exact nature of the incommensurate modulation. We report the incommensurately modulated structure described in the (3+1)D space group Pnn2(0, β, 0)000.
