Absorption corrections for diamond-anvil pressure cells implemented in the software package Absorb6.0

High-pressure single-crystal structure refinement requires intensity data that have been corrected for the various absorption effects in the pressure cell. In this contribution, the methods for calculating the absorption corrections for a transmission-geometry diamond-anvil pressure cell are reviewed. The ideas presented in this paper have been implemented in a software package for Microsoft Windows, Absorb6.0, available at http://www.crystal.vt.edu/ .
