We identify the phase boundary between spiral spin and ferromagnetic phases in Au$_2$Mn at a critical pressure of 16.4 kbar, as determined by neutron diffraction, magnetization and magnetoresistance measurements. The temperature-dependent critical field at a given pressure is accompanied by a peak in magnetoresistance and a step in magnetization. The critical field decreases with increasing temperature and pressure. The critical pressure separating the spiral phase and ferromagnetism coincides with the disappearance of the magnetroresistance peak, where the critical field goes to zero. The notable absence of an anomalous Hall effect in the the ferromagnetic phase is attributable to the high conductivity of this material.

Two charge density wave transition can be detected in LaAu$_x$Sb$_2$ at ~ 110 and ~ 90 K by careful electrical transport measurements. Whereas control of the Au site occupancy in LaAu$_x$Sb$_2$ (for 0.9 < x < 1.0) can suppress each of these transitio
ns by ~ 80 K, the application of hydrostatic pressure can completely suppress the lower transition by ~ 10 kbar and the upper transition by ~ 17 kbar. Clear anomalies in the resistance as well as the magnetoresistance are observed to coincide with the pressures at which the charge density wave transitions are driven to zero.
Mn$_2$Au is an important antiferromagnetic (AF) material for spintronics applications. Due to its very high Neel temperature of about 1500 K, some of the basic properties are difficult to explore, such as the AF susceptibility and the exchange consta
nts. Experimental determination of these properties is further complicated in thin films by unavoidable presence of uncompensated and quasiloose spins on antisites and at interfaces. Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), we have measured the spin and orbital contribution to the susceptibility in the direction perpendicular to the in-plane magnetic moments of a Mn$_2$Au(001) film and in fields up to 8 T. By performing these measurements at a low temperature of 7 K and at room temperature, we were able to separate the loose spin contribution from the susceptibility of AF coupled spins. The value of the AF exchange constant obtained with this method for a 10 nm thick Mn$_2$Au(001) film equals to (24 $pm$ 5) meV.
We report temperature dependent measurements of ambient pressure specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, anisotropic resistivity and thermal expansion as well as in-plane resistivity under pressure up to 20.8 kbar on single crystals of EuAg$_4$As$_2$
. Based on thermal expansion and in-plane electrical transport measurements at ambient pressure this compound has two, first order, structural transitions in 80 - 120 K temperature range. Ambient pressure specific heat, magnetization and thermal expansion measurements show a cascade of up to seven transitions between 8 and 16 K associated with the ordering of the Eu$^{2+}$ moments. In-plane electrical transport is able to detect more prominent of these transitions: at 15.5, 9.9, and 8.7 K as well as a weak feature at 11.8 K at ambient pressure. Pressure dependent electrical transport data show that the magnetic transitions shift to higher temperatures under pressure, as does the upper structural transition, whereas the lower structural transition is suppressed and ultimately vanishes. A jump in resistivity, associated with the upper structural transition, decreases under pressure with an extrapolated disappearance (or a change of sign) by 30-35 kbar. In the 10 - 15 kbar range a kink in the pressure dependence of the upper structural transition temperature as well as the high and low temperature in-plane resistivities suggest that a change in the electronic structure may occur in this pressure range. The results are compared with the literature data for SrAg$_4$As$_2$.
Transition metals, Fe, Co and Ni, are the canonical systems for studying the effect of external perturbations on ferromagnetism. Among these, Ni stands out as it undergoes no structural phase transition under pressure. Here we have investigated the l
ong-debated issue of pressure-induced magnetisation drop in Ni from first-principles. Our calculations confirm an abrupt quenching of magnetisation at high pressures, not associated with any structural phase transition. We find that the pressure substantially enhances the crystal field splitting of Ni-$3d$ orbitals, driving the system towards a new metallic phase violating the Stoner Criterion for ferromagnetic ordering. Analysing the charge populations in each spin channel, we show that the next nearest neighbour interactions play a crucial role in quenching ferromagnetic ordering in Ni and materials alike.
The local density of states of Mn-Mn pairs in GaAs is mapped with cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy and compared with theoretical calculations based on envelope-function and tight-binding models. These measurements and calculations show t
hat the crosslike shape of the Mn-acceptor wavefunction in GaAs persists even at very short Mn-Mn spatial separations. The resilience of the Mn-acceptor wave-function to high doping levels suggests that ferromagnetism in GaMnAs is strongly influenced by impurity-band formation. The envelope-function and tight-binding models predict similarly anisotropic overlaps of the Mn wave-functions for Mn-Mn pairs. This anisotropy implies differing Curie temperatures for Mn $delta$-doped layers grown on differently oriented substrates.
