What does DAC stand for?

We subjected a series of gas mixtures of xenon in combination with hydrogen to high pressures in a diamond anvil cell.

9]] were examined by in situ Raman spectroscopy with the aid of a diamond anvil cell.

Piermarini (1957-present) Diamond anvil cell, ruby technique, high pressure x-ray diffraction of single crystals, powders, polymers, RDFs and IR spectroscopy at high pressures.

Using a diamond anvil cell and a laser heat source, the scientists first subjected methane to pressures exceeding 20 thousand times the atmospheric pressure at sea level and temperatures ranging from 1,300 Fahrenheit to over 2,240 Fahrenheit.

The present approach is reasonable, since in the XAS experiment (10), compression was performed in a diamond anvil cell without a hydrostatic medium.

These milestone achievements or "firsts" included: (1) the invention of the lever-arm type diamond anvil cell (DAC) in 1958; (2) the development of DAC technology for powder x-ray diffraction at high pressure in 1960; (3) the introduction of DAC methodology for single crystal x-ray diffraction at high pressure in 1964; (4) the invention of the optical fluorescence ruby method of pressure measurement in 1971; and (5) the discovery of hydrostatic pressure-transmitting media useful to unprecedented pressures for that time.

Shimizu and his colleagues chilled oxygen almost to absolute zero and squeezed it in a diamond anvil cell (SN: 10/26/96, p.
