Abstract

Experimental techniques on production of ultra-high pressure at very low temperature, electrical resistance and magnetization measurement are developed for the purpose of searching for pressure-induced superconductivity in some simple systems. Previous results of pressure induced superconductivity of I, Br, Ca, SnI₄ and C₆I₄O₂ are reviewed and remaining problems are discussed shortly. Recent findings of metallization and superconductivity of O and S are also reported.
