ABSTRACT
We report a quantitative comparison of measured intensities of neutron powder diffraction data collected in a single-crystal diamond anvil cell and in large-volume sintered diamond anvils. As expected from the difference in sample volumes, the latter provides 1–2 orders of magnitude higher intensities, depending on the anvil material. The remaining differences are due to effects of absorption and angular aperture.
