Abstract
Details of the design and pressure calibration procedure are described for two compact clamp-type piston cylinder high pressure cells for use in low temperatures from 300K to 1.5K. One of the two cells has been used for electrical resistivity and a. c. magnetic susceptibility measurements at hydrostatic pressures up to 37 kbar. Another is made of nonmagnetic materials and has been used for magnetization measurement up to 17 kbar. The usefulness of the uniaxial stress technique to high pressure work is pointed out. Some typical experimental results obtained are shown as examples.
