Abstract

Abstract The development of area detectors such as the imaging plate (IP) allows the use of angle-dispersive techniques for powder diffraction studies at high pressure. Integration of the 2-d pattern greatly improves the powder averaging and signal-to-noise ratio, making it possible to carry out full Rietveld refinements of crystal structures in high-pressure phases. An IP system is being developed at the Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS), Daresbury, and the current status of this system -hardware and software -is described. Recent results on La2CuO4 and lnSb demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the techniques.
