Temperature - pressure phase diagram of CeCoSi: Pressure induced high-temperature phase

Abstract

We have studied the temperature-pressure phase diagram of CeCoSi by electrical-resistivity experiments under pressure. Our measurements revealed a very unusual phase diagram. While at low pressures no dramatic changes and only a slight shift of the Neél temperature $T_N$ ($\approx 10$ K) are observed, at about 1.45 GPa a sharp and large anomaly, indicative of the opening of a spin-density-wave (SDW) gap, appears at a comparatively high temperature $T_S\approx 38$ K. With further increasing pressure $T_S$ shifts rapidly to low temperatures and disappears at about 2.15 GPa, likely continuously in a quantum critical point, but without evidence for superconductivity. Even more surprisingly, we observed a clear shift of $T_S$ to higher temperatures upon applying a magnetic field. We discuss two possible origins for $T_S$, either magnetic ordering of Co or a meta-orbital type of transition of Ce.
