Notes:
A high temperature-high pressure pyrophyllite cell with a graphite heater has limitations when temperature exceeds ∼2100 K. A conventional cell used with the cubic anvil high pressure apparatus has been modified to reach ∼3300 K. The heater power versus temperature calibration curve has been established using Pt–Pt10%Rh thermocouple up to 1900 K. For calibration above 1900 K, the heater powers required to initiate melting in Al2O3, Y2O3, and TiB2, and decomposition of α-SiC have been determined. The melting (or decomposition) of the specimens has been detected by examining the microstructure of the specimens recovered after pressure-temperature treatment. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
