TLDR
In this article, a Drickamer-type apparatus was made in which the highly-stressed tip regions of the Carboloy pistons are of dense sintered diamond and the results showed that this apparatus is capable of attaining static pressures of over 400 kilobar on a newly revised scale.
Abstract
A Drickamer‐type apparatus has been made in which the highly‐stressed tip regions of the Carboloy pistons are of dense sintered diamond. Experiments indicate that this apparatus is capable of attaining static pressures of over 400 kilobar on a newly revised scale. The results show that the 1970 revised pressure scale of Drickamer needs further revision downwards for the range above about 150 kilobar. A pressure scale based on electric resistance transitions up to 400 kilobar is proposed. Resistance vs press force curves are shown for Bi, Fe20Co, Fe40Co, CdS, GaP, BP, NaCl, and graphite.

Chapter 3 Structural Transitions in the Group IV, III-V, and II-VI Semiconductors under Pressure

TL;DR: In this article, structural transitions in the group IV, III, V, and II-VI semiconductors under pressure are discussed. But the resolution of EDX powder patterns is limited to that of the solid-state detector.

Infrared Studies in the 1- to 15-Micron Region to 30,000 Atmospheres.

TL;DR: Major spectral changes are not observed in the same pressure ranges in other carbonates having the calcite or aragonite structures, and the results for calcite may be explained by a shift of the CO3= ion from the trigonal axis under pressure.
