Abstract
High-pressure studies of electroluminescence and photoconductivity are commonly carried out using liquid pressure systems. The wider application of a gas pressure system (with its substantial advantages) in this kind of studies is limited by the difficulties in the construction of a suitable sample cell. Such a cell, in addition to electric and optical access, must be provided with a high-pressure inlet, and the overall dimension of the cell should allow it to fit most standard cryostats. In this paper a high gas pressure optical cell is described which enables electroluminescence or photoconductivity measurements at pressures up to 1.0 GPa and at temperatures down to 1K.
