Effect of Pressure on the Ferromagnetic Cerium Compound CeCu9Sn4

Yasuyuki Ishii, Nobuo Mori, Masato Hedo, Yoshiya Uwatoko

Electrical resistivity measurements under hydrostatic pressure up to 2.2 GPa was carried out for a ferromagnetic ternary cerium compound CeCu9Sn4. The ferromagnetic transition temperature increases with increasing pressure up to 0.8 GPa and then decreases with increasing pressure above 1 GPa. Origins of this pressure dependence may be the competition between magnetic interaction in the c-plane and along the c-direction.
