Anvils and ultra-high pressure apparatuses using the same

摘要

Polycrystalline diamond (“PCD”) anvils and associated ultra-high pressure apparatuses employing such anvils. The PCD anvils include an anvil body defining an anvil face. The anvil body comprises a plurality of diamond grains defining a plurality of interstitial regions, with a metal-solvent catalyst occupying at least a portion of the plurality of interstitial regions. The plurality and diamond grains and the metal-solvent catalyst of the PCD collectively exhibit a coercivity of about 115 Oe or more and a specific magnetic saturation of about 15 G·cm³/g or less.
