63 Cu Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) measurements in Cu2O have been performed under high pressures (P ) up to 10 GPa at 1.6 K. The pressure cell, based on a technique using modified Bridgman anvils with a liquid pressure medium in Teflon capsule, generates nearly hydrostatic pressure with a volume of 1×10 −3 ml, which is sufficiently large for the detection of NMR/NQR signals. The narrow 63 Cu NQR was observed at 26.82 MHz (P = 0), and the resonance frequency varies linearly with P up to 9 GPa. This result shows that Cu NQR line in Cu2O becomes a convenient and precise P manometer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
