temperature calculation

Calculated values are exact when the cold junction is at 0 ?C. Temperature correction is valid for cold junction temperature not higher than 250 ?C.
B-type thermocouple works only above about 90 ?C, but is almost unsensitive to the cold junction temperature.

NOTE: Rekhi et al. temperature correction is incompatible with the Shen et al. pressure scale

Sm:YAG fluorescence
Calibration:





Calibration is from:
Hess N.J. and Schiferl D., J. Appl. Phys. 71, 2082 (1992).
Trots D.M., Kurnosov A., Boffa Ballaran T., Tkachev S., Zhuravlev K., Prakapenka V., Berkowski. M and Frost D., JGR:Solid Earth, 118, 5805 (2013)
Note: this calibration is valid without temperature correction at least up to 800 K.
Sm:SrB4O7 fluorescence
Calibration:





Calibration is from:
Rashchenko S.V., Kurnosov A., Dubrovinsky L. and Litasov K., J. Appl. Phys. 117, 145902 (2015)

Diamond anvil Raman




Calibration is from:
Akahama Y. and Kawamura H., J. Appl. Phys. 100, 043516 (2006).
Note: Raman signal should be measured at the center of culet. This scale is not valid to estimate pressure gradients.
Temperature correction is not known.
The "measured position" is the minimum of the Raman signal derivative (see image below).
Diamond Raman




Calibration is from:
Dubrovinskaia N. et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 97, 251903 (2010).
Note: It is not a Raman signal from an anvil, it is a peak from diamond inside the sample chamber.
