Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
An experimental technique designed to increase in-situ electrical connections in a cubic anvil press has been developed. Two encompassing cell designs (extruded gasket and pre-formed gasket) were tested with several electrical barrier methods: PVD coatings, G-10/FR-4 and Canvas Electrical (C. E.) phenolic, Teflon and Al ceramic tubing.
Many variations of techniques were attempted and each (n)th attempt was founded on the experience from/observation of the results obtained with the (n-1)thtechnique variation. Eighteen pressure cell configurations were designed and tested. The cells with self-extruded gaskets were unsuccessful due to the destructive nature of the extruding gaskets on the …
