Abstract

The development of the Paris-Edinburgh cell has extended the pressure range for neutron diffraction by a full order of magnitude to 30 GPa. This advance has provided a wealth of new information on the high-pressure behaviour of ices such as water-ice, ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulphide. We have now put in place technique developments to permit loading of water-gas mixtures into the Paris-Edinburgh cell.
