Abstract

We report accurate measurements of the equation of state of diamond and neon, measured by x-ray diffraction in a resistively heated diamond-anvil cell. The atomic volume of single crystals of diamond embedded in neon pressure-transmitting medium has been measured between 0 and 80GPa and from 300to900K. The atomic volume of neon is reported in the same PT range and also up to 208GPa at room temperature. The crystal structure of neon remains face-centered cubic over the domain of investigation. We show that a Mie–Grüneisen–Debye formalism reproduces very well the present PVT data for neon as well as low pressure–low temperature data available in the literature. This makes neon a well calibrated x-ray pressure gauge, suitable for high pressure–high temperature studies. The thermal behavior of diamond is more complex and cannot be completely described by a Mie–Grüneisen–Debye model. Its thermal expansion decreases faster with increasing pressure than the predictions of simple thermodynamic models.
