Transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) has been well recognized as a powerful tool for non-destructive investigation of the three-dimensional inner structure sample with spatial resolution down to few tens nanometers, especially when combined synchrotron radiation sources. Recent developments this technique have presented need new tools both system control and data analysis. Here software package developed in MATLAB script command generation analysis TXM is presented. The first toolkit,...
Significance Diamond anvil cell (DAC) could be one of the most popular and versatile devices to generate static high pressure. By using beveled anvils, researchers can study materials up 4 Mbar, which is considered as a limit pressure conventional DAC; however, very few experiments have visited this region. Here, we systematically studied behaviors three DACs with typical culet sizes, reached Mbar. In addition, by submicrometer synchrotron X-ray probe, double cupping diamond anvils Mbar...
Cordycepin, a major compound separated from Cordyceps sinensis, is known as potential novel candidate for cancer therapy. Breast cancer, the most typical diagnosed among women, remains global health problem. In this study, anti-breast property of cordycepin and its underlying mechanisms was investigated. The direct effects on breast cells both in vitro vivo experiments were evaluated. Cordycepin exerted cytotoxicity MCF-7 MDA-MB-231 confirmed by reduced cell viability, inhibition...

However, only way determine crystal structures of materials above 100 GPa, namely, X-ray diffraction (XRD), especially low Z materials, remains nontrivial region, even with availability brilliant synchrotron sources. In this work, we perform a systematic study, choosing hydrogen (the lowest scatterer) as subject, understand how better...
ABSTRACT Transmission X‐ray microscopy (TXM) is a rapidly developing technique with the capability of nanoscale three dimensional (3D) real‐space imaging. Combined wide range in energy tunability from synchrotron sources, TXM enables retrieval 3D microstructural information elemental/chemical sensitivity that would otherwise be inaccessible. The differential absorption contrast above and below edges has been used to reconstruct distributions different elements, assuming interested elements...
Seifertite SiO2 likely exists as a minor phase near the core–mantle boundary. By simulating pressure and temperature conditions boundary, seifertite was synthesized in coarse-grained, polycrystalline sample coexisting with (Mg,Fe)SiO3 post-perovskite (pPv) at 129 GPa 2500 K. Here we report first situ single-crystal structure determination refinement of high after quench from laser heating. We improved data coverage diamond-anvil cell (DAC) by merging six selected grains that had different...
Significance Pressure-induced metallization of solid hydrogen is a problem certain prominence in high-pressure physics. However, it extremely challenging to be achieved experimentally. It was proposed that “chemical precompression” (introducing impurity atoms or molecules into hydrogen) may facilitate under pressure. In this paper, we selected Ar(H 2 ) as model system and explored the intermolecular interactions H presence weakly bound (Ar). Combining our experimental data theoretical...

Metallization of hydrogen as a key problem in modern physics is the pressure-induced evolution electronic band from wide-gap insulator to closed gap metal.
