High-pressure laboratories of Bayerisches Geoinstitut

高压研究对地球和材料科学、固态物理和化学都是必不可少的。这项提议的目的是向外部用户提供巴耶里斯地质研究所的高压实验室。地球物理研究所是欧洲领先的地球科学高压研究设施，将现代高压研究的几乎所有仪器都集中在一个地点。许多实验设施在欧洲是独一无二的，有些在世界上也是独一无二的(例如，5000吨多顶压机；具有六个独立顶锤的新型立方压力机；同时测量钻石顶顶室中单晶的布里渊光谱和X射线衍射图的设备；新型便携式激光加热设备)。拜尔里斯地质研究所的高压设施配有现代化的分析实验室(电子探针、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、LA-ICP/MS、FTIR、拉曼、穆斯堡尔光谱仪等)。该研究所的一个特点是有能力开发新的仪器和实验方法。最初在拜罗伊特开发的许多方法现在都在世界各地的实验室中使用(例如，测量多砧座设备中的导热系数和电导率、超声波干涉测量和钻石砧座单元中的高温红外光谱)。将以两种不同的方式授予外部用户访问权限：(1)拥有经批准的DFG赠款的用户可以为实验付费(2)没有这种赠款的用户可以免费进行探索性研究。所有高压设备都将向外部用户开放；如果高压实验需要，所有分析设备都可以免费使用。所有外部用户将在他们的实验中得到科学家工作人员的支持；这包括在最佳实验设计和数据评估方面的建议。将为游客提供客人办公室，研究所的秘书人员将在预订酒店房间和其他后勤方面提供支持。

High-pressure research is essential for Earth and materials science, solid state physics and chemistry. The purpose of this proposal is to make the high-pressure laboratories of Bayerisches Geoinstitut available to external users. The Geoinstitut is the leading facility for high-pressure research in Earth sciences in Europe, combining virtually all instruments of modern high-pressure research at one site. Many of the experimental facilities are unique in Europe, some are unique worldwide (e.g. 5000 ton multi anvil press; novel cubic press with six independent anvils; apparatus for the simultaneous measurement of Brillouin spectra and X-ray difffraction patterns on single crystals in diamond anvil cells; new portable laser-heating devices). The high-pressure facilities at Bayerisches Geoinstitut are supplemented by modern analytical laboratories (electron microprobe, SEM, TEM, LA-ICP/MS, FTIR, Raman, Moessbauer-spektrometers, etc.). A characteristic feature of the institute is its ability to develop new instruments and experimental methods. Many of the methods originally developed in Bayreuth are now used in laboratories worldwide (e.g. measurements of thermal and electrical conductivity in the multi anvil apparatus, ultrasonic interferometry and high-temperature infrared spectroscopy in diamond anvil cells). Access to external users would be granted in two different modes: (1) Users with approved DFG grants may pay for experiments (2) users without such grants may carry out exploratory studies free of charge. All high-pressure equipment would be made available to external users; all analytical equipment may be used free of charge if it is necessary for the high-pressure experiments. All external users will be supported by staff scientists in their experiments; this includes advice in optimum experimental design and data evaluation. Guest offices will be provided to the visitors and the secretarial staff of the institute will provide support in booking hotel rooms and other logistics.
