Abstract

A new piston-cylinder pressure cell for electron spin resonance (ESR) has been developed. The pressure cell consists of a double-layer hybrid-type cylinder with internal components made of the ZrO2-based ceramics. It can generate a pressure of 2GPa repeatedly and reaches a maximum pressure of around 2.5GPa. A high-pressure ESR system using a cryogen-free superconducting magnet up 10T has also been developed for this hybrid-type pressure cell. The frequency region is from 50GHz to 400GHz. This is the first time a pressure above 2GPa has been achieved in multi-frequency ESR system using a piston-cylinder pressure cell. We demonstrate its potential by showing the results of the high-pressure ESR of the S=1 system with the single ion anisotropy NiSnCl6·6H2O and the S=1/2 quantum spin system CsCuCl3. We performed ESR measurements of these systems above 2GPa successfully.
