Title: Fly scan apparatus for high pressure research using diamond anvil cells

Journal Article · · Review of Scientific Instruments
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5057445 · OSTI ID:1494058

In this paper, the hardware and software used to execute fly scans at Sector 16 of the Advanced Photon Source is described. The system design and capabilities address dimensions and time scales relevant to samples in high pressure diamond anvil cells. The time required for routine sample positioning and centering is significantly reduced and, more importantly, the time savings associated with fly scanning makes it feasible for users to routinely generate two-dimensional x-ray transmission and x-ray diffraction maps. Consequently, this facilitates an important shift in high pressure research as experimentalists embrace the study of heterogeneous and minute sample volumes in the diamond anvil cell.
