Abstract

We have developed a novel miniature diamond anvil cell (mDAC) with a diameter of 8.5 mm and a length of 35 mm for a commercial superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer. In this mDAC, both X-Y and tilt adjustments of diamond anvil are possible. The SQUID magnetometer with this mDAC works under pressures higher than 1 GPa in a wide range of temperature and high magnetic field region. As for the test operation of this system, we first investigated the standard pressure effects of metallic superconductor Pb up to the pressure P = 3.8 GPa at the magnetic field H = 100 G and after that we investigated the pressure effect of an f-electron ferromagnetic compound GdZn2 up to P = 4.9 GPa for H ≤ 20000 G. The sensitivity of the present system is about 10-6 emu.
