The development of a high pressure micro-cell for magnetization and specific heat measurements: the effect of pressure on the magnetism in CeAg

A micro-pressure cell has been developed for measurements of specific heat and magnetization by using a commercial SQUID magnetometer. This small piston-cylinder device can be used up to 2 GPa. In this paper, we report on the efficiency of our micro-cell and present some results of the pressure effect on the magnetic and thermal properties of CeAg.
