This talk will review the main concepts, applications and capabilities of different non-conventional varieties of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXD) experiment utilizing synchrotron radiation for applications in ultra-high-pressure research. Examples of how such experiments can be designed and performed to best answer the scientific goals of the study and, at the same time overcome the...

Previous melting experiments in the laser-heated diamond cell at megabar pressures relied on optical observations of motion or texture. Most of these measurements yielded melting temperatures in good agreement with low-pressure data and with shock melting points obtained at high pressures except for transition metals. In order to understand this discrepancy a systematic study of these elements...
