The measurement of elastic constants as a function of pressure can provide valuable information not only for the understanding of atomic scale forces but for the interpretation of seismic data to better understand the nature of the Earth's interior. High pressures can be achieved by using a large force or by using a small area. The technique of laser Brillouin scattering is an ideal probe for measuring sound velocity in the small volume available in a gasketed diamond anvil cell.
