Recent Advances in Ultra-High Pressure Generation Technology Using Diamond Anvil Cell

Recently, we have succeeded to extend the attainable static pressure to 410 GPa using a diamond anvil cell (DAC). In this article, our recent advances in the ultra-high pressure generation technique of the DAC are reviewed, and the key factors for the high-pressure generation beyond 300 GPa were discussed. In addition, in such extremely high-pressures range, an optical pressure determination method and a direct observation method of the stress-state by the diamond anvil Raman spectroscopy have been presented.
