Abstract
Synthetic type 1B yellow diamonds containing nitrogen in single substitutional form, with extremely low birefringence, were used as anvils in a diamond anvil cell. The diamonds were well characterized by infrared and visible absorption spectra. Sensitive spectroscopic methods along with mechanical chopping techniques were used to record ruby fluorescence to 250–300 GPa, a pressure equal to or exceeding that attained with natural diamonds. Nitrogen platelets are not essential to attaining multimegabar pressures.Keywords
