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.

The abrupt drop of resistance to zero at a critical temperature is a key signature of the current paradigm of the metal-superconductor transition. However, the emergence of an intermediate bosonic insulating state characterized by a resistance peak preceding the onset of the superconducting transition has challenged this traditional understanding. Notably, this phenomenon has been predominantly observed in disordered or chemically doped low-dimensional systems, raising intriguing questions about the generality of the effect and its underlying fundamental physics.

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.
