Abstract

A near-normal visible reflectivity system was constructed for investigating the optical properties of materials at high pressure and temperatures. The system consists of focusing optics, spectrometers, and imaging cameras for use with a resistively-heated membrane-controlled diamond anvil cell (DAC). The DAC allows optical access on two sides: one dedicated to pressure measurement via fluorescence, the other side dedicated to absolute reflectance measurements. With this configuration, pressure and temperature may be controlled and measured without disturbing the sample position, permitting quantitative reflectivity measurements as a function of thermodynamic state variables. The system was tested on gold at high pressure conditions, and compared to data obtained on a commercial ellipsometer system at 1 bar.
