Article Abstract
This paper presents the results of using laboratory x-ray systems in the study of the crystal structure of anvil made from single-crystal diamond. The system is equipped with an Excillum MetalJet D2 + 70 kV high-brightness x-ray source with a liquid GaIn anode. The x-ray diffraction imaging (topography) technique with the use of a high-resolution x-ray Rigaku camera was applied to analyze crystal structure defects. Two-dimensional images were experimentally recorded using 400 and 111 reflections with a resolution of 1.5 and 5 μm, respectively. These topograms displayed various defects, such as growth striations and dislocations. Possible applications of the proposed laboratory-based optical scheme for high-pressure physics are discussed and future improvements to the setup are suggested.

This study aimed to test the use of Rietveld refinement on respirable aerosol samples to determine the phase of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) and other minerals. The results from the Rietveld refinement were compared to an external standard method and gravimetrical measurements. Laboratory samples consisting of α-quartz, feldspar, and calcite with variable proportions and total mass loadings were made and analyzed using the NIOSH 7500 , followed by Rietveld refinement.

Whereas single crystals of organic compounds that respond to heat or light have been reported and studied in detail, studies on crystalline organic compounds that elicit an extreme mechanical response are relatively rare in the chemical literature. A tetrafluoro(aryl)sulfanylated bicyclopentane synthesized in our laboratory was discovered to exhibit such behavior; i.e.

Herein, we report the isolation of pyridine moiety-functionalized SiNSi pincer-based bis-silylene ligand () and its reactivity toward various halide precursors (X = Br and I) of group 13 elements (M = Al, Ga, and In). This gave us straightforward access to the SiNSi pincer-coordinated group 13 cations (-). These complexes are duly characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H, C, and Si), and high-resolution mass spectrometry techniques.
