We have developed a high-pressure and high-field electron spin resonance (ESR) system using the combination of a commercially available superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer and a clamp-type piston cylinder pressure cell. The magnetic field range is up to 5 T, and the maximum pressure reaches 1.5 GPa. The most characteristic feature of this system is its easy handling as compared with other high-pressure ESR systems. Moreover, the macroscopic magnetization measurement can be performed simultaneously with the microscopic ESR measurement. In addition to these features, the well-established pressure calibration method utilizing the change of superconducting transition temperature of tin can be applied to this system. By using this system, we obtained pressure dependence of the single ion magnetic anisotropy parameter D of NiSnCl6 center dot 6H(2)O up to 1.5 GPa precisely, and the magnetization behavior of this material under pressure was explained well by its pressure dependence of the D value.
