High-pressure laboratories of Bayerisches Geoinstitut

高压研究对于地球与材料科学、固体物理和化学都是必不可少的。该提案的目的是使Bayerisches地质研究所的高压实验室可供外部用户使用。地球研究所是欧洲地球科学高压研究的领先机构，在一个地点结合了几乎所有现代高压研究仪器。许多实验设备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吨多砧压机；具有六个独立砧的新型立方压机；同时测量金刚石砧细胞中单晶布里温光谱和x射线衍射模式的装置；新的便携式激光加热装置）。巴伐利亚地质研究所的高压设备配有现代化的分析实验室（电子探针、SEM、TEM、LA-ICP/MS、FTIR、拉曼光谱仪、moessbauer光谱仪等）。该研究所的一个特点是它有能力开发新的仪器和实验方法。许多最初在拜罗伊特开发的方法现在在世界各地的实验室中使用（例如，在多砧装置中测量导热性和导电性，在金刚石砧细胞中测量超声波干涉测量和高温红外光谱）。对外部用户的访问将以两种不同的模式授予：(1)获得批准的DFG拨款的用户可以支付实验费用；(2)没有此类拨款的用户可以免费进行探索性研究。所有高压设备将提供给外部用户；如果高压实验需要，所有分析设备都可以免费使用。所有外部用户的实验将得到工作人员科学家的支持；这包括在最佳实验设计和数据评估方面的建议。客人办公室将提供给来访者，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.
