A compact cubic-anvil high-pressure device was developed for in situ neutron powder diffraction studies. In this device, a cubic shaped pressure medium is compressed by six anvils, and neutron beams pass through gaps between the anvils. The first high-pressure experiment using this device was conducted at J-PARC and clearly showed the neutron diffraction patterns of Pb. Combining the cubic-anvil high-pressure device with a pulsed neutron source will prove to be a useful tool for neutron diffraction experiments.

We investigated the superconductivity of (TMTTF)TaF (TMTTF: tetramethyl-tetrathiafulvalene) by conducting resistivity measurements under high pressure up to 8 GPa. A cubic anvil cell (CAC) pressure generator, which can produce hydrostatic high-pressure, was used for this study. Since the generalized temperature-pressure (-) diagram of (TMTF) ( = Se, S, : monovalent anion) based on (TMTTF)PF ( = 70 K and spin-Peierls: SP, = 15 K) was proposed by Jérome, exploring superconductivity states using high-pressure measurement beyond 4 GPa has been required to confirm the universality of the electron-correlation variation under pressure in (TMTTF) (TMTTF)TaF, which has the largest octahedral-symmetry counter anion TaF in the (TMTTF) series, possesses the highest charge-ordering (CO) transition temperature ( = 175 K) in (TMTTF) and demonstrates an anti-ferromagnetic transition ( = 9 K) at ambient pressure.

A "palm" cubic-anvil pressure cell (PCAC) having an outer diameter of 60 mm, the smallest cubic-anvil cell to date, was fabricated to insert in a large-bore superconducting magnet. The pressure cell has a sample space of ϕ 2.5 × 1.

High-pressure neutron diffraction (HPND) experiments in extended pressure and temperature ranges can provide invaluable information for understanding many pressure-induced emergent phenomena, such as unusual phase transitions and quantum critical behavior involving spin, orbital, charge and structural degrees of freedom, in strongly correlated materials. Many apparatuses for different purposes of HPND experiments have been developed in several laboratories. Recently, a clamp-type cubic anvil high pressure cell that can generate pressure over 7 GPa at 3 K was developed for low-temperature HPND measurements.

The effect of Ca doping on the Li-ion conductivity and phase stability of the rock-salt-type LiBH phase emerging under high pressures in the range of gigapascals has been investigated. In situ electrochemical measurements under high pressure were performed using a cubic-anvil-type apparatus. Ca doping drastically enhanced the ionic conductivity of the rock-salt-type phase: the ionic conductivity of undoped and 5 mol %Ca-doped LiBH was 2.

How to enhance the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) has been a primary issue since the discovery of superconductivity. The highest Tc reported so far is 166 K in HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ (Hg1223) at high pressure of 23 GPa, as determined with the reduction onset, but not zero, of resistivity. To clarify the possible condition of the real maximum Tc, it is worth revisiting the effects of pressure on Tc in the highest Tc family.
