High-pressure integrated synchrotron infrared spectroscopy system at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility

We describe a new integrated optical spectroscopy facility for high-pressure research in materials research and mineral science located at the beamline BL01B of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The system combines infrared synchrotron Fourier-Transform spectroscopy with broadband laser visible/near infrared and conventional laser Raman spectroscopy in one instrument. The system utilizes a custom-built microscope optics designed for a variety of diamond anvil cell experiments, which include low-temperature and ultrahigh pressure studies. We demonstrate the capabilities of the facility for studies of a variety of high-pressure phenomena such as phase and electronic transitions and chemical transformations.We describe a new integrated optical spectroscopy facility for high-pressure research in materials research and mineral science located at the beamline BL01B of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility.
