I15-Extreme Conditions	The high-pressure, high-temperature phase diagram of cerium Keith Munro , Dominik Daisenberger , Simon Macleod , Steve Mcguire , Ingo Loa , Catalin Popescu , Pablo Botella , Daniel Errandonea , Malcolm Mcmahon Journal Of Physics: Condensed Matter DOI: 10.1088/1361-648X/ab7f02 Diamond Proposal Number(s): [9548, 7533] Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: We present an experimental study of the high-pressure, high-temperature behaviour of cerium up to $\sim$22 GPa and 820 K using angle-dispersive x-ray diffraction and external resistive heating. Studies above 820 K were prevented by chemical reactions between the samples and the diamond anvils of the pressure cells. We unambiguously measure the stability region of the orthorhombic \textit{oC}4 phase and find it reaches its apex at 7.1 GPa and 650 K. We locate the $\alpha$-\textit{cF}4 -- \textit{oC}4 -- \textit{tI}2 triple point at 6.1 GPa and 640 K, 1 GPa below the location of the apex of the \textit{oC}4 phase, and 1-2 GPa lower than previously reported. We find the $\alpha$-\textit{cF}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 phase boundary to have a positive gradient of 280 K/GPa, less steep than the 670 K/GPa reported previously, and find the \textit{oC}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 phase boundary to lie at higher temperatures than previously found. We also find variations as large as 2-3 GPa in the transition pressures at which the \textit{oC}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 transition takes place at a given temperature, the reasons for which remain unclear. Finally, we find no evidence that the $\alpha$-\textit{cF}4 $\rightarrow$ \textit{tI}2 is not second order at all temperatures up to 820 K.	Mar 2020
I15-Extreme Conditions I19-Small Molecule Single Crystal Diffraction	Determining complex crystal structures from high pressure single-crystal diffraction data collected on synchrotron sources Malcolm Mcmahon , Ingo Loa , Graham Stinton , L. F. Lundegaard High Pressure Research 33 (3), 485 - 500 DOI: 10.1080/08957959.2013.831087 Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: As part of a Long Term Project, single-crystal diffraction techniques have been developed for use at the high pressure beamlines ID09 and ID27 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, and have been utilised to determine the crystal structures of various high pressure phases, including those with incommensurate structures, at both high and low temperatures. The same techniques have also been used to determine the structures of high pressure phases at the SRS, Diamond and Petra-III synchrotron sources. In this paper, we describe technical details of the methods developed, and describe some of the considerations necessary for planning experiments and collecting and processing the data. We then illustrate the quality of data that can be obtained, and the complexity of the structures that can be refined, using recent results obtained from complex high pressure phases of N2 and Ba.
