Apparatus for studying electron paramagnetic resonance in solids under pressure to 60 kilobars and beyond has been developed. The high pressures are produced between dielectric Bridgman anvils, one of which serves as a microwave resonance cavity. The instrument makes possible the study, by EPR techniques, of paramagnetic atoms or ions subject to stresses which might be expected to induce changes in their electronic structure.
