Ruby pressure scale in a low-temperature diamond anvil cell

Abstract: Laser-excited N and R fluorescence lines of heavily doped ruby have been studied up to 26 GPa at low temperatures. While the intensity of the R lines at ambient pressure significantly decreases with decreasing temperature, the intensity of N lines originating from exchange-coupled Cr ion pairs is enhanced at low temperatures. The pressure induced wavelength shift of the N lines at 19 K is well fitted with an empirical formula similar to the equation for the R 1 line, showing that the intense N line could be us… Show more

“…6 near here…] Pressure in cryostats/DACs can be controlled remotely at low temperature by either helium compressed diaphragm (membrane) control, or mechanical means (gearbox, lever arm assembly). The pressure at cryogenic temperatures can be measured with online ruby/Raman systems [107,115], or using x-ray diffraction standards such as Au, NaCl, or MgO. Temperature of the sample in a cryostat is typically controlled by adjusting the flow rate of cryogen into the cryostat and a heating wire attached to a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loop.…”

“…In the early 1970s, the process was turned around somewhat, and the details of crystal field theory were overtaken by empirical advances. In particular, calibrated experimental determination of shifts in the R1 and R2 line energies, , as a function of hydrostatic pressure [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] became the standard method for measuring pressure in high-pressure experiments involving the diamond anvil cell (DAC)-a method that continues to this day [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], although not without debate regarding calibration coefficients. (Here and throughout, citations within a topic are given in chronological order of publication.)…”
