Techniques of producing ultra-high pressure at very low temperature and measuring method of electrical resistance and magnetization of samples confirmed in the used diamond anvil ceil (DAC) are shortly described. Experimental results on simple molecular systems such as iodine, sulfur, oxygen and organic iodanil are reviewed as typical example of pressure induced superconductivity.

An experimental setup to perform high-pressure resonant X-ray scattering (RXS) experiments at low temperature on I16 at Diamond Light Source is presented. The setup consists of a membrane-driven diamond anvil cell, a panoramic dome and an optical system that allows pressure to be measured in situ using the ruby fluorescence method. The membrane cell, inspired by the Merrill–Bassett design, presents an asymmetric layout in order to operate in a back-scattering geometry, with a panoramic aperture of 100° in the top and a bottom half dedicated to the regulation and measurement of pressure. It is specially designed to be mounted on the cold finger of a 4 K closed-cycle cryostat and actuated at low-temperature by pumping helium into the gas membrane. The main parts of the body are machined from a CuBe alloy (BERYLCO 25) and, when assembled, it presents an approximate height of 20–21 mm and fits into a 57 mm diameter. This system allows different materials to be probed using RXS in a range of temperatures between 30 and 300 K and has been tested up to 20 GPa using anvils with a culet diameter of 500 µm under quasi-cryogenic conditions. Detailed descriptions of different parts of the setup, operation and the developed methodology are provided here, along with some preliminary experimental results.

Experimental results in search for pressure-induced superconductivity are reviewed. Typical examples are simple inorganic and organic molecular crystals, magnetic metals, and elements. We have developed complex extreme condition of very low temperature down to 30 mK and ultra high pressure exceeding 200 GPa by assembling compact diamond-anvil cell (DAC) on a powerful 3 He /4 He dilution refrigerator. Using the newly developed apparatus and techniques, we have studied superconductivity in various materials in various pressure range. In this paper, we will shortly review our newly developed experimental apparatus and techniques and discuss about examples of pressure-induced superconductivity in simple metals.
