The pressure change of the spontaneous magnetization sigma(s) of the itiner
ant electron ferromagnet CrTe has been determined in the ranges of hydrosta
tic pressure and temperature of 0-6.1 kbar and 4.2-70 K, respectively. The
spontaneous magnetization decreases linearly with pressure at temperatures
from 4.2 to 70 K. The values of d sigma(s)/dp and d In sigma(s)/dp at 4.2 K
are found to be -0.92 emu g(-1) kbar(-1) and -1.2x10(-2) kbar(-1), respect
ively. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
