abstract = {The fundamental requirement to study high-pressure effects
is the availability of suitable pressure devices. Their
design has to be tailored to the experimental demands
regarding the intended pressure, the employed
instrumentation and the expected scientific results.Our work
presents the development of high pressure devices for two
experimental methods: neutron scattering on polycristalline
and single crystalline samples and macroscopic magnetization
measurements.For the high-pressure neutron experiments, one
of the most common types of devices is the clamp cell [1].
One of the characteristic features of this device is that
the pressure is applied and fixed ex-situ, before the cell
is transferred into the experimental setup. While the
pressure can thus not be changed in-situ, the advantage of
this design is the liberty to use the cell independently in
various setups.The use of neutron radiation for scattering
experiments on the one hand requires comparatively large
samples and thus a large sample space within the cell. On
the other hand, due to the high penetration depth of neutron
radiation a rather massive design of the cells is possible,
provided that neutron-transmissive materials are used.Our
cell design has been specifically developed for neutron
scattering experiments at low temperatures in the
closed-cycle cryostats on the instruments DNS (a diffuse
scattering neutron time-of-flight spectrometer), MIRA (a
cold three axes spectrometer with optional focussing guides
and polarization analysis), and POLI (a polarized hot
neutron diffractometer) at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum
(MLZ) in Garching, Germany. The cell (Fig. 1) has been
produced in two variants (one made from CuBe and one made
from NiCrAl “Russian Alloy”), working up to about 1.1
GPa and 1.5 GPa, respectively. Since both CuBe and NiCrAl
have a very low paramagnetic moment, the cells have low
magnetic background, allowing also measurements of magnetic
properties.First tests of the cell have been performed to
calibrate the load/pressure-curve of the CuBe cell (up to
1.1 GPa, slightly exceeding the calculated limit of about
1.0 GPa), to estimate cell attenuation and background, and
to measure magnetic reflections.Ultimately, these cells are
intended for high pressure measurements at ultra-low
temperatures and in combination with an applied magnetic
field.Figure 1. Schematic drawing of the neutron clamp
cell.A second high-pressure cell (Fig. 2) has been developed
for temperature-dependent magnetization measurements in a
commercially available MPMS (Magnetic Properties Measurement
System) from Quantum Design as well as for neutron
scattering experiments at MLZ. The cell is also built from
NiCrAl, allowing measurements up to 1.5 GPa, higher than
with similar commercial pressure cells.Figure 2. Schematic
drawing of the magnetization clamp cell.Further tests under
various conditions (temperature, pressure, magnetic field)
are planned for both cells. The results will help both to
establish the present cells and to optimise the design of
subsequent cells.Acknowledgements: This work was supported
