A hybrid NiCrAl pressure cell was fabricated to measure magnetic quantities under high pressure above 3 GPa. A pressure of 4.0 GPa was achieved and the pressure cell was found to be reusable even after a pressurizing trial up to 4.0 GPa. Pressure was monitored using (63)Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance of Cu(2)O and ruby fluorescence. The pressure efficiency of a fresh cell was maintained at 96%, and no appreciable deformation was observed at pressures below 3 GPa; on the other hand, the efficiency after pressurizing trials decreased gradually and reached 75% at 4 GPa accompanied by a maximum expansion inside the cylinder of 2%.
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.
