Measurement of pressure effects on the magnetic and the magnetocaloric properties of the intermetallic compounds R(Co1-xSix)2 [R=Dy and Er]

2006

The effect of external pressure on the magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of R(Co1-xSix)2 [R= Er, Dy and x=0, 0.025 and 0.05] compounds has been studied. The ordering temperatures of both the parent as well as the Si substituted compounds are found to decrease with pressure. In all the compounds, the critical field for metamagnetic transition increases with pressure. It is seen that the magnetocaloric effect in the parent compounds is almost insensitive to pressure, while there is considerable enhancement in the case of Si substituted compounds. Spin fluctuations arising due to the magnetovolume effect play a crucial role in determining the pressure dependence of magnetocaloric effect in these compounds. Analysis of the magnetization data using the Landau theory has shown that the magnitude of the Landau coefficient (C3) decreases with Si concentration whereas it is found to increase with pressure. The isothermal magnetic entropy change is found to behave in the same manner as C3, both with Si concentration (at ambient pressure) as well as with the applied pressure.

Effect of pressure on the magnetic properties of TM 3 [Cr(CN) 6 ] 2 ·12H 2 O

Journal of Physics-condensed Matter, 2007

We present the results of magnetization and AC susceptibility measurements performed on ferrimagnetic Mn32+[CrIII(CN)6]2·12H2O and ferromagnetic Ni32+[CrIII(CN)6]2·12H2O systems under pressures up to 0.9 GPa in a commercial SQUID magnetometer. The magnetization process is affected by pressure: magnetization saturates at higher magnetic field, saturated magnetization mus of Ni3[Cr(CN)6]2 is reduced and almost unaffected for Mn3[Cr(CN)6]2 at low temperatures. The Curie temperature

ac susceptibility studies of the weak itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO3 under high pressure to 34GPa

Physical Review B, 2007

The dependence of the Curie temperature Tc on nearly hydrostatic pressure has been determined to 17.2 GPa for the weak itinerant ferromagnetic SrRuO3 in both polycrystalline and single-crystalline form. Tc is found to decrease under pressure from 162 K to 42.7 K at 17.2 GPa in nearly linear fashion at the rate dTc/dP = -6.8 K/GPa. No superconductivity was found
