0318488KavnerSupport for this grant will allow a new assistant Professor at UCLA (Abby Kavner) to develop a first-class high pressure mineral physics/experimental petrology laboratory focused on studies of earth materials at extreme temperatures and pressures in the diamond anvil cell (DAC). Equipment to be purchased includes a laser that will be used with an existing laser to build a dual-sided laser heating system for DAC experiments, a CCD camera, spectrometer and optical components to develop a 2-D radial temperature measurement system capable of making precision measurements of in situ temperature gradients in the DAC, and a Raman spectroscopy system to assist in pressure measurements and in characterizing materials both in situ and after quenching. This laboratory will support the PI's and student research on possible electrochemical reactions at the Earth's core-mantle boundary. The facility will also support collaborative research with mineral physicists nationwide through associations developed within the Consortium for Materials Properties Research in the Earth Sciences (COMPRES). ***

这项资助将允许加州大学洛杉矶分校的一位新助理教授（Abby Kavner）建立一个一流的高压矿物物理/实验岩石学实验室，专注于研究钻石砧细胞（DAC）中极端温度和压力下的地球材料。购买的设备包括一台激光器，将与现有的激光器一起用于建立DAC实验的双面激光加热系统，一台CCD相机，光谱仪和光学元件，用于开发二维径向温度测量系统，能够精确测量DAC的原位温度梯度，以及一个拉曼光谱系统，以协助压力测量和表征原位和淬火后的材料。该实验室将支持PI和学生在地核-地幔边界可能发生的电化学反应的研究。该设施还将通过地球科学材料特性研究联合会（COMPRES）内建立的协会，支持与全国矿物物理学家的合作研究。＊＊＊
