We report a study of the low-temperature high-pressure phase diagram of the intermetallic compound PrCu$_2$, by means of molecular-field calculations and $^{63,65}$Cu nuclear-quadrupole-resonance (NQR) measurements under pressure. The pressure-induced magnetically-ordered phase can be accounted for by considering the influence of the crystal electric field on the $4f$ electron orbitals of the Pr$^{3+}$ ions and by introducing a pressure-dependent exchange interaction between the corresponding local magnetic moments. Our experimental data suggest that the order in the induced antiferromagnetic phase is incommensurate. The role of magnetic fluctuations both at high and low pressures is also discussed.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of YCo$_5$ compound have been studied by neutron diffraction, in the pressure range $0 le p le 7.2 GPa$. The experimental data are analyzed together with results from the combined Density Functional and Dynamical Mean-Field Theory. A good agreement between the experimentally determined and calculated values of cobalt moments is shown. Our scenario for the behavior of YCo$_5$ under pressure, is the combined action of the Lifshitz transition with a strong local electron-electron interaction.
We performed the DC-magnetization and neutron scattering experiments under pressure {it P} for a pressure-induced superconductor UGe$_2$. We found that the magnetic moment is enhanced at a characteristic temperature {it T}$^{*}$ in the ferromagnetic state, where {it T}$^{*}$ is smaller than a Curie temperature {it T}$_{rm C}$. This enhancement becomes remarkable in the vicinity of {it P}$_{rm C}^{*}$ = 1.20 GPa, where {it T}$^{*}$ becomes 0 K and the superconducting transition temperature {it T}$_{rm SC}$ shows a maximum. The characteristic temperature {it T}$^{*}$, which decreases with increasing pressure, also depends on the magnetic field.
We have studied the effect of pressure on the pyrochlore iridate Eu$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, which at ambient pressure has a thermally driven insulator to metal transition at $T_{MI}sim120$,K. As a function of pressure the insulating gap closes, apparently continuously, near $P sim 6$,GPa. However, rather than $T_{MI}$ going to zero as expected, the insulating ground state crosses over to a metallic state with a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity, calling into question the true nature of both ground states. The high temperature state also crosses over near 6 GPa, from an incoherent to a conventional metal, suggesting a connection between the high and the low temperature states.
The pressure-induced changes in the temperature-dependent thermopower S(T) and electrical resistivity rho(T) of CeRu_2Ge_2 are described within the single-site Anderson model. The Ce-ions are treated as impurities and the coherent scattering on different Ce-sites is neglected. Changing the hybridisation Gamma between the 4f-states and the conduction band accounts for the pressure effect. The transport coefficients are calculated in the non-crossing approximation above the phase boundary line. The theoretical S(T) and rho(T) curves show many features of the experimental data. The seemingly complicated temperature dependence of S(T) and rho(T), and their evolution as a function of pressure, is related to the crossovers between various fixed points of the model.
Through advanced experimental techniques on CrI$_{3}$ single crystals, we derive a previously not discussed pressure-temperature phase diagram. We find that $T_{c}$ increases to $sim$ 66,K with pressure up to $sim$ 3,GPa followed by a decrease to $sim$ 10,K at 21.2,GPa. The experimental results are reproduced by theoretical calculations based on density functional theory where electron-electron interactions are treated by a static on-site Hubbard U on Cr 3$d$ orbitals. The origin of the pressure induced reduction of the ordering temperature is associated with a decrease of the calculated bond angle, from 95$^{circ}$ at ambient pressure to $sim$ 85$^{circ}$ at 25,GPa. Above 22,GPa, the magnetically ordered state is essentially quenched, possibly driving the system to a Kitaev spin-liquid state at low temperature, thereby opening up the possibility of further exploration of long-range quantum entanglement between spins. The pressure-induced semiconductor-to-metal phase transition was revealed by high-pressure resistivity that is accompanied by a transition from a robust ferromagnetic state to gradually more dominating anti-ferromagnetic interactions and was consistent with theoretical modeling.
