IN a recent issue of Physical Review Letters, MT Yin and ML Cohen'pose the question of whether diamonds will transform under pressure; their answer is that at around 23 Mbar diamond will adopt a crystallographic structure which is simply cubic. This result is of practical importance because of the widespread use of diamonds as anvils in equipment used to generate high pressures. Diamonds are very strong and are available in shapes which permit a pressure applied on a relaiively large face to produce a much greater pressure over an opposite face of smaller area. Diamonds are also transparent to a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, so it is possible to carry out many experiments on materials confined under pressure between the anvils. During the past ten years a wide range of important results on the behaviour of matter at high pressure has been obtained in this way2•At present, measurements are being made quite commonly at pressures up to 500 kbar (-500,000 kg em· 2). One of the most difficult tasks in this type of work is to obtain accurate values for the pressure within the high-pressure cell, but pressure scales are now reasonably well established up to 500 kbar. Progress to higher pressures involves the steady extension of present techniques, and also the requirement that the diamond anvils will not transform or fail under pressure. Extrapolations from the behaviour of germanium and silicon under pressure made by Van Vechten in 1971 predicted that the structure of diamond would change to the (J-tin structure at a pressure of 1.3 Mbar (ref. 3). However, Mao and Bell4 subsequently claimed to have reached a static pressure of
