In this work we investigate nanocomposite carbonaceous–palladium (C–Pd) films prepared by physical vapor deposition. Such films are promising materials for hydrogen sensor applications. This is related to the highly selective hydrogen absorption by palladium nanocrystallites. The C–Pd films obtained in various technological conditions differ in structure and electrical properties. These films were characterized by SEM, EDS and FTIR spectroscopy. FTIR spec-troscopy was used to determine the amount of palladium acetate and fullerene, incompletely decomposed during the deposition process. FTIR spectra enabled us to explain the differences in C–Pd films resistance based on palladium chemical structure. The possibility of the application of C–Pd films as active layers in hydrogen sensors was also studied. The results showed that synthesized C–Pd films containing palladium nanograins could be used for hydrogen sensing.

The present status of high-pressure research with the diamond anvil cell (DAC) is described, focusing mainly on use of this technique in optical spectroscopy. After a brief description of the history of the development of high-pressure measurements, the principles of DAC technique are described in more detail. Then different applications of this technique to high-pressure research are discussed, including optical spectroscopy, electrical measurements, X-ray diffractometry and other measurements. Results obtained for selected materials, with a view to illustrating the physics behind high-pressure phenomena, are presented and discussed. These include high-pressure luminescence studies of Cr3+ or Yb3+-doped lithium niobate crystal (LiNbO3) as well as Cr3+ and Nd3+-doped lanthanum lutetium gallium garnet crystal (La3Lu2Ga3O12). Finally, the boundary of high-pressure spectroscopy usefulness is shown. The example of such a case is the study of Cr3+-doped MgO-2.5Al2O3 non-stoichiometric green spinel.
