小行星9418328 该奖项为布鲁克海文国家实验室国家同步加速器光源（NSLS）的超高压金刚石砧室实验专用X射线衍射仪的操作，维护和进一步开发提供资金。该设施利用国家空间激光实验室弯曲和摆动磁铁产生的硬X射线辐射的独特特性，来表征在金刚石压砧单元中受到压力的材料的物理和化学特性。金刚石盒和同步加速器X射线衍射技术的最新进展为研究在模拟地球等行星内部深处的条件下超高压和同时温度（300 GPa和几千开尔文）的影响开辟了新的领域。 ***

9418328 Mao This award provides funding for the operation, maintenance, and further development of an X-ray diffraction dacility dedicated for ultra-high pressure diamond-anvil cell experimentation at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) in Brookhaven National Laboratory. The facility makes use of the unique characteristics of the hard X-radiation produced by bending and wiggler magnets at the NSLS to characterize the physical and chemical properties of materials subjected to pressure in a diamond-anvil cell. Recent advances in diamond-cell and synchrotron X-ray diffraction technologies have opened new areas of research on the effect of ultra-high pressures and simultaneous temperatures (300 GPa and several thousand Kelvin) under conditions simulating those in the deep interior of planets such as Earth. ***
