A Pressure Cell for the Measurement of the Curie Temperature with the Cubic-Anvil Press

Abstract

A pressure cell was developed for the measurement of Curie temperature, Tc, under pressure with the cubic-anvil type pressure apparatus. Using the new cell, a nonlinear behavior similar to that observed by Leger et al. was observed in the pressure dependence of Tc of Ni. The pressure derivatives of Tc at low pressure of disordered Ni–Mn alloys up to 23.2 at.% Mn were measured with the new cell and the standard press bomb connected to a pressure intensifier.
