A externally-heated diamond anvil cell system combined with vacuum chamber and carbon heater has been developed to measure the physical properties of the lower mantle minerals under high pressure and temperature precisely. I obtained in situ high-pressure and -temperature X-ray diffraction data of the lower mantle minerals in synchrotron radiation facilities using the system. These data enable us to discuss the cause of the seismic discontinuity in the lower mantle.
