We report successful coupling of dynamic loading in a diamond anvil cell and stable laser heating, which enables compression rates up to 500 GPa/s along high-temperature isotherms. Dynamic loading in a diamond-anvil cell allows exploration of a wider range of pathways in the pressure-temperature space compared to conventional dynamic compression techniques. By x-ray diffraction, we are able to characterize and monitor the structural transitions with the appropriate time resolution i.e., millisecond timescales. Using this method, we investigate the $γ − ε$ phase transition of iron under dynamic compression, reaching compression rates of hundreds of GPa/s and temperatures of 2000 K. Our results demonstrate a distinct response of the $γ − ε$ and $α − ε$ transitions to the high compression rates achieved, possibly due to the different transition mechanisms. These findings open up new avenues to study tailored dynamic compression pathways in the pressure-temperature space and highlight the potential of this platform to capture kinetic effects (over ms time scales) in a diamond anvil cell.
