An apparatus is described in which a Sylphon bellows is used to generate pressures to 3400 atm or uniaxial forces to 1150 kg in the liquid helium temperature range without the use of mechanical compressors. Correction factors, operating procedures, and practical limitations of the design are discussed. The shift in transition temperature of indium is given as a test of the overall behavior of the apparatus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
