In situ X-ray diffractions on high-pressure minerals, which are Mg-perovskite, Ca-perovskite, stishovite, CF-type aluminous phase, hexagonal aluminous phase, and scheelite-type zircon (reidite), were carried out using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell (LHDAC) up to a pressure of 80 GPa with X-rays from a synchrotron radiation source at BL10XU of SPring-8 and BL13A of PF. At each pressure increments, the samples were heated using a YAG laser to relax the deviatoric stress in the samples.
