Abstract

We have succeeded in developing a new high-pressure cell designed for measuring the absolute value of the electrical resistivity in magnetic fields at low temperatures. This pressure cell, based on a technique using modified Bridgman anvils with a Teflon capsule, can generate nearly hydrostatic pressure at least up to 6 GPa. The most important feature of this pressure cell is its compact body which can be easily combined with a dilution refrigerator in a superconducting magnet. One of its applications is for precise magneto-transport measurements under nearly hydrostatic pressure, which is demonstrated by the investigation into the pressure-induced superconducting state of the spin-ladder Sr14−xCaxCu24O41 (x=12) single crystal.
