Pressure effect in ErAg2

We have grown the single crystal of intermetallic compound ErAg2 by CZ pull ing method in RF furnace. The Neel temperature T-N was observed at 5.2 K an d the first-order transitions at 4.0 and 3.3 K. The magnetization and speci fic heat measurements were carried out under pressures of up to 0.8 and 0.5 GPa, respectively. T-N is increased from 5.2 to about 7.0 K under a pressu re of 0.8 GPa.
