Abstract: We report setting up of an Nd-YAG laser (1.06 μm) based Laser Heated Diamond Anvil Cell (LHDAC) facility to carryout High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) experiments. Pressure is generated by squeezing sample between diamond anvils using Mao-bell type DAC and high temperature is realized by focusing an Nd-YAG laser onto the pressurized sample inside the DAC. HPHT synthesis of WGe<subscript>2</subscript> has been carried out using Nd-YAG LHDAC facility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
