In situ high-energy X-ray diffraction measurements were made for the first time on a water-
saturated silicate melt at high pressure and temperature. A modified hydrothermal diamond
anvil cell (HDAC), designed to minimize the path length of the X-ray beam within a diamond
anvil and to increase the solid angle of the diffracted beam, was used to reduce high
background contributions and extend X-ray diffraction data collection in Q space.

In situ high-energy X-ray diffraction measurements were made for the first time on a water-saturated silicate melt at high pressure and temperature. A modified hydrothermal diamond anvil cell (HDAC), designed to minimize the path length of the X-ray beam within a diamond anvil and to increase the solid angle of the diffracted beam, was used to reduce high background contributions and extend X-ray diffraction data collection in Q space. Quantitative differential pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of X-ray diffraction data show that the first measurable (Si–O) peak is 0.095 Å greater in length in the hydrous melt than in the starting glass. Contributions from the H2O O–O correlations, as well as from the second nearest neighbor O–O correlations within the silicate melt, are evident within the second peak of the differential PDF. The procedure described opens new opportunities to directly investigate volatile-rich melts at high pressure and temperature.
