Abstract

Factors needed for precision and reproducibility in cryogenic-pressure experiments are identified. A diamond-press having these factors with 0-30 GPa/4-300K simultaneous tuning capability and using argon as the pressure medium, is described. Photoluminescence results obtained with this apparatus are presented for c-As//2S//3, a-As//2SeS//2, and a-Si:H up to 10. 8 GPa at 13K. For the first two solids the Stokes shift decreases rapidly with pressure due to the decreasing molecular character of these chalcogenide semiconductors, whether crystalline or amorphous. For a-Si:H, structural voids account for a small pressure-effect on the Stokes shift.
