Dear Prof. Bassett,
Thank you for the copy of your recent paper that you sent me, and the
references you mentioned. I appreciate your being willing to help us,
who are almost completely out of touch with Materials Science in
general, and in particular what is going on at present in the diamond
field. I appreciate your being available to us for further advice, as
we work toward a solution to our problem.

Richard,
I enjoyed your talk and our conversation later. I am attaching a
paper that I wrote in 2006. It is a summary of deviatoric stress in
the diamond anvil cell and includes information on both elastic and
plastic deformation of diamond including the Mao and Bell paper I
mentioned. I am afraid that the stresses and deformations far
exceed anything you were observing; however, it might prove useful.
Let me know if you have any questions or need further information about
my criteria for testing flatness.
