Development and application of high field and high pressure ESR system

We have developed a high field and high pressure ESR system including a unique pressure calibration method. We have succeeded in the ESR measurements up to 16 T under the pressure region up to 1.1 GPa. We will present about the ESR system and its application to a spin gap system KCuCl3. The energy gap between the singlet ground state and the triplet excited states are suppressed with applying pressure and the critical pressure of KCuCl3is estimated to be 0.90 GPa at 4.2 K.
