Abstract

The effect of the pressure on the Curie temperature of CrTe and MnSb compounds of the nickel arsenide were studied up to a pressure of 4,000 kg/cm 2 . The rate of change of the Curie temperature was -5.5×10 -3 °C kg -1 cm 2 for CrTe and (-3.2±0.5)×10 -3 °C kg -1 cm 2 for MnSb. From the result of the present experiment, the critical pressure and temperature to realize a first kind transition from a ferromagnetic to a paramagnetic state in CrTe are evaluated to be 41,000 kg/cm 2 and 107°K, respectively.
