Magnetic susceptibility $chi$ of the polycrystalline sample of samarium monosulfide was measured as a function of the hydrostatic pressure $P$ up to 2 kbar at liquid nitrogen and room temperatures using a pendulum-type magnetometer. A pronounced magnitude of the pressure effect is found to be positive in sign and strongly temperature dependent: the pressure derivatives of $chi$, d,ln$chi$/d$P$, are $6.3pm0.5$ and $14.2pm1$ Mbar$^{-1}$ at 300 and 78 K, respectively. The obtained experimental results are discussed within phenomenological approaches.

The effect of pressure on magnetic properties of LaCoO$_3$ is studied experimentally and theoretically. The pressure dependence of magnetic susceptibility $chi$ of LaCoO$_3$ is obtained by precise measurements of $chi$ as a function of the hydrostati c pressure $P$ up to 2 kbar in the temperature range from 78 K to 300 K. A pronounced magnitude of the pressure effect is found to be negative in sign and strongly temperature dependent. The obtained experimental data are analysed by using a two-level model and DFT+U calculations of the electronic structure of LaCoO$_3$. In particular, the fixed spin moment method was employed to obtain a volume dependence of the total energy difference $Delta$ between the low spin and the intermediate spin states of LaCoO$_3$. Analysis of the obtained experimental $chi(P)$ dependence within the two-level model, as well as our DFT+U calculations, have revealed the anomalous large decrease in the energy difference $Delta$ with increasing of the unit cell volume. This effect, taking into account a thermal expansion, can be responsible for the temperatures dependence of $Delta$, predicting its vanishing near room temperature.
We measured the thermal expansion of the valence fluctuating phase of SmS (golden SmS) to construct a pressure vs temperature phase diagram. The obtained phase diagram is characterized by three lines. One is a crossover line that divides the paramagn etic phase into two regions. The other two lines correspond to a second-order Neel transition and a first-order Neel transition. The crossover line appears to emerge from a tricritical point that separates the first-order Neel transition from the second-order one. We argue that a valence jump occurs at the border of antiferromagnetism.
Pressure-induced ordering close to a $z=1$ quantum critical point is studied in the presence of bond disorder in the quantum spin system (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$(Cl$_{1-x}$Br$_{x}$)$_6$ (PHCX) by means of muon-spin rotation and relaxation. As for t he pure system (C$_4$H$_{12}$N$_2$)Cu$_2$Cl$_6$, pressure allows PHCX with small levels of disorder ($xleq 7.5%$) to be driven through a quantum critical point separating a low-pressure quantum paramagnetic phase from magnetic order at high pressures. However, the pressure-induced ordered state is highly inhomogeneous for disorder concentrations $x>1%$. This behavior might be related to the formation of a quantum Griffiths phase above a critical disorder concentration $7.5%<x_{rm c}<15%$. Br-substitution increases the critical pressure and suppresses critical temperatures and ordered moment sizes.

We report the magnetic field dependent dc magnetization and the pressure-dependent (pmax ~ 16 kbar) ac susceptibilities Xp(T) on both powder and bulk multiferroic BiMnO3 samples, synthesized in different batches under high pressure. A clear ferromagn etic (FM) transition is observed at TC ~ 100 K, and increases with magnetic field. The magnetic hysteresis behavior is similar to that of a soft ferromagnet. Ac susceptibility data indicate that both the FM peak and its temperature (TC) decrease simultaneously with increasing pressure. Interestingly, above a certain pressure (9 ~ 11 kbar), another peak appears at Tp ~ 93 K, which also decreases with increasing pressure, with both these peaks persisting over some intermediate pressure range (9 ~ 13 kbar). The FM peak disappears with further application of pressure; however, the second peak survives until present pressure limit (pmax ~ 16 kbar). These features are considered to originate from the complex interplay of the magnetic and orbital structure of BiMnO3 being affected by pressure.

We report the pressure-dependent optical reflectivity spectra of a strongly correlated insulator, samarium monosulfide (SmS), in the far- and middle-infrared regions to investigate the origin of the pressure-induced phase transition from the black ph ase to the golden phase. The energy gap becomes narrow with increasing pressure in the black phase. A valence transition from Sm2+ in the black phase to mainly Sm3+ in the golden phase accompanied by spectral change from insulator to metal were observed at the transition pressure of 0.65 GPa. The black-to-golden phase transition occurs when the energy gap size of black SmS becomes the same as the binding energy of the exciton at the indirect energy gap before the gap closes. This result indicates that the valence transition originates from an excitonic instability.
