Pressure-induced suppression of ferromagnetism in the itinerant ferromagnet LaCrSb
arXiv:2005.11356 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.101.214408
Abstract
We have performed an extensive pressure-dependent structural, spectroscopic, and electrical transport study of LaCrSb. The ferromagnetic phase (T = 120 K at p = 0 GPa) is fully suppressed by p = 26.5 GPa and the Cr-moment decreases steadily with increasing pressure. The unit cell volume decreases smoothly up to p = 55 GPa. We find that the bulk modulus and suppression of the magnetism are in good agreement with theoretical predictions, but the Cr-moment decreases smoothly with pressure, in contrast to steplike drops predicted by theory. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature appears to be driven by the Cr-moment.
