Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

High-Pressure Mineral Physics Laboratory

The SES High-Pressure Mineral Physics Lab, directed by Prof. Wendy Panero, enables studies of material behavior under the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions of the Earth's interior.  The lab includes an array of seven symmetric diamond cells and one hydrothermal cell. The laser-heating system includes a 50W diode-pumped YLF laser and a dual-camera system for temperature and temperature-profile measurements.  The laser-heated diamond anvil cell is capable of pressures in excess of 1 Mbar and temperatures in excess of 5000 K. The lab is located in 074 Mendenhall Lab. Phone: 614-292-7342
