A hydrostatic pressure cell for precise resistivity measurement above 7 GPa at low temperatures in magnetic fields — •Takeshi Nakanishi — Kompetenzgruppe Hohe Drücke, Max-Planck-Institut für Chemische Physik fester Stoffe, Nöthnitzer Str. 40, D-01187 Dresden

We report recent developments in a new type of hydrostatic pressure cell [1] designed to measure 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 that contains a liquid pressure transmitting medium, can generate nearly hydrostatic pressure at least up to P ≃ 7.1 GPa. The performance of this pressure cell was demonstrated by the electrical resistivity measurement on a single crystal of heavy fermion superconductor CeCu2(Si0.9Ge0.1)2 at low temperatures down to T = 50 mK [2]. Pressure is controlled with high accuracy (0 ≤ P ≤ 7 GPa). Very recently, we have succeeded in generating a hydrostatic pressure of 7.7 GPa when a load of 74 kN (≃ 7.5 ton) was applied. This implies a possibility that one can generate hydrostatic pressures above 10 GPa in the more compact size of this pressure cell. We present a modified design of the present pressure cell, which can be fitted to a commercial PPMS (Physical Property Measurement System, Quantum Design). [1] T. Nakanishi, N. Takeshita and N.
