Basal plane resistivity of expanded graphite was studied under simultaneous influence of hydrostatic pressure up to 1.8 GPa and magnetic field 0.8 T in the 77-300 K temperature region. Magnetic field induces negative magnetoresistance in the sample within all temperature and pressure range studied. A change in resistivity of the sample under maximum pressure reaches 80%. Significant change in resistivity dependence on temperature under the pressure of 0.6 GPa suggests for ordering transition in the sample studied. Negative magnetoresistance in the graphite reaches about 15% at 0.6 GPa. Magnetic field acts in the same way as pressure and potentiates the transition formation and further magnetoresistance dynamics. The effects observed are mostly of elastic character according to resistivity of the unloaded sample.

We have studied the c-axis interlayer magnetoresistance (ILMR), R_c(B) in graphite. The measurements have been performed on strongly anisotropic highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples in magnetic field up to B = 9 T applied both parallel a nd perpendicular to the sample c-axis in the temperature interval 2 K < T < 300 K. We have observed negative magnetoresistance, dR_c/dB < 0, for B || c-axis above a certain field B_m(T) that reaches its minimum value B_m = 5.4 T at T = 150 K. The results can be consistently understood assuming that ILMR is related to a tunneling between zero-energy Landau levels of quasi-two-dimensional Dirac fermions, in a close analogy with the behavior reported for alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 [N. Tajima et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 176403 (2009)], another multilayer Dirac electron system.
The archetype cubic chiral magnet MnSi is home to some of the most fascinating states in condensed matter such as skyrmions and a non-Fermi liquid behavior in conjunction with a topological Hall effect under hydrostatic pressure. Using small angle ne utron scattering, we study the evolution of the helimagnetic, conical and skyrmionic correlations with increasing hydrostatic pressure. We show that the helical propagation vector smoothly reorients from $langle 111 rangle$ to $langle100rangle$ at intermediate pressures. At higher pressures, above the critical pressure, the long-range helimagnetic order disappears at zero magnetic field. Nevertheless, skyrmion lattices and conical spirals form under magnetic fields, in a part of the phase diagram where a topological Hall effect and a non-Fermi liquid behavior have been reported. These unexpected results shed light on the puzzling behavior of MnSi at high pressures and the mechanisms that destabilize the helimagnetic long-range order at the critical pressure.
In this work, we investigate calcium titanate (CaTiO3 - CTO) using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy up to 60 and 55 GPa respectively. Both experiments show that the orthorhombic Pnma structure remains stable up to the highest pressures measur ed, in contradiction to ab-initio predictions. A fit of the compression data with a second-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state yields a bulk modulus K0 of 181.0(6) GPa. The orthorhombic distortion is found to increase slightly with pressure, in agreement with previous experiments at lower pressures and the general rules for the evolution of perovskites under pressure. High-pressure polarized Raman spectra also enable us to clarify the Raman mode assignment of CTO and identify the modes corresponding to rigid rotation of the octahedra, A-cation shifts and Ti-O bond stretching. The Raman signature is then discussed in terms of compression mechanisms.
The dependence of the superconducting transition temperature T_{c} on nearly hydrostatic pressure has been determined to 67 GPa in an ac susceptibility measurement for a Li sample embedded in helium pressure medium. With increasing pressure, supercon ductivity appears at 5.47 K for 20.3 GPa, T_{c} rising rapidly to ~ 14 K at 30 GPa. The T_{c}(P)-dependence to 67 GPa differs significantly from that observed in previous studies where no pressure medium was used. Evidence is given that superconductivity in Li competes with symmetry breaking structural phase transitions which occur near 20, 30, and 62 GPa. In the pressure range 20-30 GPa, T_{c} is found to decrease rapidly in a dc magnetic field, the first evidence that Li is a type I superconductor.
The room-temperature longitudinal piezoresistance of n-type and p-type crystalline silicon along selected crystal axes is investigated under uniaxial compressive stresses up to 3 GPa. While the conductance ($G$) of n-type silicon eventually saturates at $approx 45%$ of its zero-stress value ($G_0$) in accordance with the charge transfer model, in p-type material $G/G_0$ increases above a predicted limit of $approx 4.5$ without any significant saturation, even at 3 GPa. Calculation of $G/G_0$ using textit{ab-initio} density functional theory reveals that neither $G$ nor the mobility, when properly averaged over the hole distribution, saturate at stresses lower than 3 GPa. The lack of saturation has important consequences for strained silicon technologies.
