Title: Flash melting of tantalum in a diamond cell to 85 GPa

Abstract

Here, we demonstrate a new level of precision in measuring melting temperatures at high pressure using laser flash-heating followed by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Focused Ion Beam Milling. Furthermore, the new measurements on tantalum put unprecedented constraints on its highly debated melting slope, calling for a reevaluation of theoretical, shock compression and diamond cell approaches to determine melting at high pressure. X-ray analysis of the recovered samples confirmed the absence of chemical reactions, which likely played a significant role in previous experiments.

Melting diamond in the diamond cell by laser-flash heating

Journal Article Yang, L. ; Karandikar, A. ; Shiell, T. B. ; ... - High Pressure Research

The phase behavior of carbon at high pressure and the search for carbon structures denser than diamond has been explored for decades showing large discrepancies, with many fundamental questions remaining unresolved. Here we show evidence of melting above the graphite-diamond-liquid (GDL) triple point (~13 GPa, 4000 K) up to 50 GPa on samples recovered from single flash-heating events using spectroscopic and electron microscopic methods. The results show that for all pressures, diamond melts below the triple point temperature contradicting previous studies, most of which predict a positive slope of the melting curve.

High-pressure melting curve of sulfur up to 65 GPa

Journal Article Arveson, Sarah M. ; Meng, Yue ; Lee, June ; ... - Physical Review B

The melting curve of elemental sulfur was measured to pressures of 65 GPa in a laser-heated diamond-anvil cell using ex situ textural analyses combined with spectroradiometry and benchmarked with laser-power-temperature functions. Here, the melting curve reaches temperatures of ~ 1800 K by 65 GPa and is smooth in the range of 23–65 GPa with a Clapeyron slope of ~ 14 K / GPa at 23 GPa. This is consistent with melting of a single tetragonal sulfur structure in this range, which is confirmed by in situ x-ray diffraction. An updated equation of state for tetragonal sulfur is determined, and themore »« less

Development of a simultaneous Hugoniot and temperature measurement for preheated-metal shock experiments: Melting temperatures of Ta at pressures of 100 GPa

Journal Article Jun, Li ; Xianming, Zhou ; Jiabo, Li ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Equations of state of metals are important issues in earth science and planetary science. A major limitation of them is the lack of experimental data for determining pressure-volume and temperature of shocked metal simultaneously. By measuring them in a single experiment, a major source of systematic error is eliminated in determining from which shock pressure release pressure originates. Hence, a non-contact fast optical method was developed and demonstrated to simultaneously measure a Hugoniot pressure-volume (P{sub H}-V{sub H}) point and interfacial temperature T{sub R} on the release of Hugoniot pressure (P{sub R}) for preheated metals up to 1000 K.

Strength of tantalum to 276 GPa determined by two x-ray diffraction techniques using diamond anvil cells

Journal Article Perreault, Christopher ; Huston, Larissa Q. ; Burrage, Kaleb ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Tantalum (Ta) is a metal that has useful properties that make it useful in extreme environments. It is therefore important to understand how Ta performs in such extreme conditions by accurately measuring its properties. In this work, the yield strength of tantalum has been measured at pressures up to 276 GPa using axial and radial x-ray diffraction (XRD) methods in diamond anvil cells (DAC). We measured strength using XRD in a radial DAC to 50 GPa, in an axial DAC to 60 GPa using diamonds with standard flat culets, and in a final experiment to 276 GPa using toroidal diamondmore »« less

High precision measurements of the diamond Hugoniot in and above the melt region

Journal Article Hicks, D ; Boehly, T ; Celliers, P ; ... - Physical Review B, vol. 78, N/A, April 11, 2008, pp. 174102

High precision laser-driven shock wave measurements of the diamond principal Hugoniot have been made at pressures between 6 and 19 Mbar. Shock velocities were determined with 0.3-1.1% precision using a velocity interferometer. Impedance matching analysis, incorporating systematic errors in the equation-of-state of the quartz standard, was used to determine the Hugoniot with 1.2-2.7% precision in density. The results are in good agreement with published ab initio calculations which predict a small negative melt slope along the Hugoniot, but disagree with previous laser-driven shock wave experiments which had observed a large density increase in the melt region. In the extensive solid-liquidmore »« less
