Pressure dependences of Ms-T (Ms: saturation moment) and magnetisation
curves in Cr-modified Mn2Sb system were investigated in the pressure
range up to 1 GPa and in the temperature range between 4.2 and 250 K.
It was found that there are at least three intermediate magnetic state
s between the antiferromagnetic (AF) and perfect ferrimagnetic (FR) st
ates. The AF-FR transition temperature decreased with increasing press
ure, in contrast to the expectation from the conventional model.
