Abstract
A high-pressure apparatus with cubic-anvil device has been successfully working for more than 10 years at low temperatures down to 2 K under quasi-hydrostatic pressure up to 10 GPa in study of solid-state physics. Main parts of it are composed of a set of compact cubic-anvils, a top-loading high-pressure cryostat and a 250 ton press. All the particulars of the cubic-anvil apparatus are given, including pressure calibrations at low temperature.
