Design of a piston cylinder-type high-pressure cell

Abstract

We constructed a hybrid piston cylinder-type high-pressure cell using a homemade NiCrAl alloy. It was designed as a hydrostatic pressure cell; 67 mm in length with an outer diameter of 25 mm to be used with a dilution refrigerator. We have succeeded in the resistivity measurement under hydrostatic pressure up to about 3.8 GPa at temperatures down to T = 33 mK without any trouble.
