A high temperature diamond anvil cell (HTDAC) was installed in an infrared (IR) microscope at BL43IR of the synchrotron radiation (SR) facility SPring8 to investigate the behavior of “water” in minerals. Since IRSR as an IR light source is more brilliant than a conventional IR source, the IRSR is useful for IR measurements under experimentally difficult conditions such as in a DAC study. In this text, IR microspectroscopy of BL43IR at SPring8, the HTDAC for IR study and the behavior of the proton in brucite (Mg(OH)2) under high temperature and high pressure revealed by IR absorption spectra with IRSR and HTDAC are introduced.
