W. Bridgman '04 of the Jefferson Physical Laboratory has recently perfected an apparatus for achieving the highest pressures that have ever been artificially produced. A Pressure as high as ...
Mott, who shared the Peace prize. Bridgman was given the award as the result of his life-long studies "within the sphere of high pressure physics," and for his invention of an apparatus producing ...
The technique relies on the use of a high-pressure Bridgman furnace, which is a kind of industrial furnace utilized for crystal growth and directional solidification of polycrystalline ingots.
