Abstract
High-pressure studies of BaCo0.9Ni0.1S1.9, a layered transition-metal - sulfide alloy that exhibits a unique antiferromagnetic insulator to paramagnetic metal transition with decreasing temperature, are reporte d. Resistance measurements as a function of temperature (2-300 K) and pressure (0-0.8 GPa) are used to determine the phase diagram relating the metallic phase and several insulating phases.
