Abstract
The standard design of single-toroid anvil and gasket used in Paris-Edinburgh cells has been modified to achieve greater angular access for neutron scattering. These anvils have potential uses for single-crystal studies and phonon measurements at high pressure. To date, they have been used successfully to 8 GPa.
