Thermal decomposition of rhombohedral KClO[sub 3] from 29-76 kilobars and implications for the molar volume of fluid oxygen at high pressures.

Presents a study which investigated the thermal decomposition of KClO[sub 3] using a multianvil high-pressure device and in-situ energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction and off-line quenching experiments. Experimental techniques; Characterization of the multianvil device; Pressure calibration.
