Abstract: | We present a simple novel technique to adapt a standard Bridgman cell for the use of a liquid pressure transmitting medium. The technique has been implemented in a compact cell, able to fit in a commercial Quantum Design PPMS system, and would also be easily adaptable to extreme conditions of very low temperatures or high magnetic fields. Several media have been tested and a mix of fluorinert FC84:FC87 has been shown to produce a considerable improvement over the pressure conditions in the standard steatite solid medium, while allowing a relatively easy setup procedure. For optimized hydrostatic conditions, the success rate is about 80% and the maximum pressure achieved so far is 7.1 GPa. Results are shown for the heavy fermion system YbAl(3) and for NaV(6)O(15), an insulator showing charge order. |
