On the use of Cu:Be clamp cells in magnetization and neutron scattering studies

Abstract

The use of miniature clamp cells made of Cu:Be for magnetization and neutron scatteringstudies in the medium pressure range is reviewed by giving recent results achieved in studies ofUGe2, MnSiand ZrZn2. The experiments reviewed here establish in particular that small samples can bestudied rather well at high pressures using a variety of different techniques, notablyconventional diffraction, cold and thermal neutron triple axes and small-angle neutronscattering.
