I have learned to performed diamond anvil apparatus to generate very high pressure at helium temperatures using open cycle cryostat. We have used hydrogen as our sample. I have used 300-micron culet size diamond anvils and loaded hydrogen at 15.5K. We have collected the Raman spectrum of solid hydrogen.
