Irreversible Compressibility of Silica Glass as a Means of Determining the Distribution of Force in High‐pressure Cells

Abstract

The theoretical distribution of force over two types of cells used at pressures up to 160,000 atm is considered and compared with experimental results obtained by using silica glass as a pressure indicator. Experimental data for the pressure‐irreversible density‐change relation of silica glass to pressures of 200,000 atm are reported. Differences between results of the present investigation and those of previous investigations are discussed.
