- Abstract
A simple method for detection of melting event in laser-heated diamond anvil cells (DACs) is introduced.The melting is registered optically by the formation of spherical drops of the investigatedmaterial as heated in an inert pressure transmitting medium. Feasibility of the method is demonstratedon the examples of metal (iron and gold) and iron oxide (Fe2O3), materials molten at pressures over 40GPa employing a portable laser heating system.
