Type of article: Article

Summary

A TECHNIQUE IS DESCRIBED FOR MAKING FOUR-PROBE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY MEASUREMENTS ON BULK SAMPLES IN A DIAMOND ANVIL CELL. THE TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED UP TO 48 GPASCALS AND AT BELOW 4.2 K TO MEASURE THE SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSITION TEMPERATURES (T), OF LEAD, GALLIUM PHOSPHATE AND SILICON. A METHOD FOR ANALYZING THE RESISTANCE VERSUS TEMPERATURE CURVE IN THE VICINITY OF THE SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSITION IS ALSO DESCRIBED. THIS METHOD IS APPLIED TO DETERMINE THE PRESSURE DEPENDENCE OF T IN SILICON IN THE REGION WHERE T VARIES RAPIDLY WITH PRESSURE.
