Introduction
What’s pressure?
Changing physical properties
630 hPa (0.65 気圧)
=63,000 Pa
1,013 hPa (1 気圧)
=101,300 Pa
1 GPa = pressure @ trench × 10
= pressure @ surface × 10,000
= 1 万気圧

Introduction
Pressure effect on physical
properties
※ Superconductivity
・ Electrical resistance is Zero
・ Meissner effect (perfect diamagnetism)
pressure
Able to change physical properties
・ Changing superconducting
transition temperature (Tc)
・ etc…

Introduction
Motivation for high-Tc
History of superconducting transition temperature (Tc)
World record of high-Tc!
Tc = 164 K @ 31 GPa

Introduction
Motivation for high-Tc
HgBa2Cam-1CumO2m+2+d
m = 3 is the best for high-Tc!
My experiment
d>0, supplying
holes into the
CuO2 layers
Why? (not clear yet)
c
If we understand these reasons,
we can make clear high-Tc system
and realize higher Tc than now.

Introduction
Motivation for high-Tc
World record’s sample
Not the best purity
Not optimum dope under pressure
→ Sample with purity and optimum dope
under pressure will be able to record
higher Tc?
Try to make a new world record!

Highest Tc = 150 K @ 13 GPa
Cooling with refrigerator and
measuring electrical resistance
Applying more pressure
Sorry, but I’ll show you details on
next semester’s presentation.
Summary
Pressure is very interesting method for changing physical
properties.
DAC is very useful for applying high pressure.
My experiments
• Measuring about Hg-1223’s pressure dependence of Tc
• Highest Tc = 150 K @ 13 GPa
Future
→ More experiments
→ New world record
→ Making clear high-Tc system about cuprate
→ Superconductivity @ room temperature
