    Fluorinert as a pressure-transmitting medium for high-pressure diffraction studies
    Varga, T.; Wilkinson, A. P.; Angel, R. J. (AIP Publishing, 2003-10)
    Fluorinert is a liquid pressure-transmitting medium that is widely used in high-pressure diffraction work. A systematic study of five different fluorinerts was carried out using single-crystal x-ray diffraction in a diamond-anvil cell in order to determine the pressure range over which they provide a hydrostatic stress state to the sample. It was found that none of the fluorinerts studied can be considered hydrostatic above 1.2 GPa, a lower pressure than reported previously. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
