Abstract

A high pressure XRD measurement setup in the angle dispersive geometry has been setup in the Angle Dispersive X-ray diffraction beamline (BL-12) in Indus-2 synchrotron facility. The X-ray beam is collimated inside the Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC) using a pair of cross-slit collimators and 100 micron orifice in a 400 micron thick Ta sheet. With the use of an adaptive optics to ensure a converging beam at the sample position, the need of an X-ray beam collimator is eliminated making the alignment of the DAC quite easy. The alignment of the DAC with respect to the incident X-ray beam is made by placing it on a computer controlled sample mounting and alignment stage developed specifically for this setup. Interactive software has been developed to make the alignment of the X-ray through the DAC very easy and accurate. NIST standard LaB6 powder was used for test runs, and a few fine pieces of gold served as pressure calibrator. The data was recorded on a MAR345 Image plate detector.
