Simple High Pressure X-Ray Powder Camera

Abstract
A simple high pressure x‐ray powder camera is described. The pressure vessel is a disk of three parts ``amorphous'' boron and one part epoxy resin which is pressed between tungsten carbide anvils. The sample can be oscillated in the camera. Pressures of ∼100 kbar have been reached. The phase transition in lanthanum metal reported by Bridgman at 24 kbar and room temperature is associated with a change from a double hexagonal close‐packed to a face‐centered cubic structure.
