Cell pressures in the cubic press have been determined by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA) based on the known fusion curve of aluminum. The results compared favorably with those of the well-known fixed-point method, based on pressure-induced phase transitions in bismuth (I-II, 2.55 GPa)...
