An overview of facilities for high‐pressure research with the diamond anvil cell (DAC) at the GeoSoilEnviroCARS (GSECARS) sector at the Advanced Photon Source (Argonne, Illinois) is presented. There are three operational experimental stations (13‐ID‐C, 13‐ID‐D and 13‐BM‐D) where DAC instrumentation is installed for various types of experiments at high pressure and extreme temperature conditions. A fourth station (13‐BM‐C) is under construction and will be operational in 2006. While most X‐ray diffraction experiments have been undertaken with powder samples so far, there is a growing demand for single‐crystal diffraction (SCD) at high pressure. As one of the principal components at GSECARS, SCD is currently under rapid development. Other relevant techniques have also been developed for obtaining complementary information from powder or single‐crystal samples at high pressure. For example, an on‐line Brillouin system is installed and operational at 13‐BM‐D for acoustic velocity and single‐crystal elasticity determinations. In addition, various X‐ray spectroscopy techniques ( e.g. X‐ray emission and X‐ray Raman) are employed for measuring electronic and magnetic properties. Future developments are discussed with the DAC program at GSECARS.
