Abstract
An optical cell is described for performing simultaneous static high-pressure and shear experiments. This cell design is a modification of the previously designed megabar diamond anvil cell used by Mao and Bell that allows for controlled, remote shear. With this diamond anvil cell, it is possible to use a wide range of existing experimental techniques and pressure media. The cell was validated on a sample of calcite at 5 kbar. Raman measurements show the onset of the phase transformation from calcite to aragonite at 10° of rotation.
