ML33 DAC cell

The ML33 DAC Cell is a miniature Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC) engineered
for ultra-high-pressure experiments within SQUID (Superconducting
Quantum Interference Device) magnetometers. Is compatible with
conned spaces in cryogenic SQUID systems.
The pressure cell was made of nonmagnetic copper beryllium alloy and
depending on the size of the diamond culets was capable of reaching a
pressure of 15 GPa. The alignment of the anvils was achieved by adjusting
the position of one of the diamonds in the horizontal plane while the other
diamond was rotated by the seat support, which provided the option of
the alignment. Pressure was applied by turning the nut at the back of the
piston and thus transmitting the load onto the anvil attached at the opposite
end. The cell is made of ultrapure BeCu alloys and the design is optimized in
order to minimize the amount of the cell material around the sample and to
provide large windows in order to improve the signal-tobackground of the
measurement.
