We have performed an extensive pressure-dependent structural, spectroscopic, and electrical transport study of LaCrSb$_3$. The ferromagnetic phase (T$_C$ = 120 K at p = 0 GPa) is fully suppressed by p = 26.5 GPa and the Cr-moment decreases steadily with increasing pressure. The unit cell volume decreases smoothly up to p = 55 GPa. We find that the bulk modulus and suppression of the magnetism are in good agreement with theoretical predictions, but the Cr-moment decreases smoothly with pressure, in contrast to steplike drops predicted by theory. The ferromagnetic ordering temperature appears to be driven by the Cr-moment.

The correlated electron material CePd$_2$P$_2$ crystallizes in the ThCr$_2$Si$_2$ structure and orders ferromagnetically at 29 K. Lai et al. [Phys. Rev. B 97, 224406 (2018)] found evidence for a ferromagnetic quantum critical point induced by chemica l compression via substitution of Ni for Pd. However, disorder effects due to the chemical substitution interfere with a simple analysis of the possible critical behavior. In the present work, we examine the temperature - pressure - magnetic field phase diagram of single crystalline CePd$_2$P$_2$ to 25 GPa using a combination of resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and x-ray diffraction measurements. We find that the ferromagnetism appears to be destroyed near 12 GPa, without any change in the crystal structure.
We have studied the pressure dependence of the magnetization of single crystalline CeSi_1.81. At ambient pressure ferromagnetism develops below T_C = 9.5 Below ~ 5 K an additional shoulder in low-field hysteresis loops and a metamagnetic crossover ar ound 4 T suggest the appearance of an additional magnetic modulation to the ferromagnetic state. The suppression of the magnetic order in CeSi_1.81 as function of temperature at ambient pressure and as function of pressure at low temperature are in remarkable qualitative agreement. The continuous suppression of the ordered moment at p ~ 13.1 kbar suggests the existence of a ferromagnetic quantum critical point in this material.

Ultrathin films of the itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO$_3$ were studied using transport and magnto-optic polar Kerr effect. We find that below 4 monolayers the films become insulating and their magnetic character changes as they loose their simple ferrom agnetic behavior. We observe a strong reduction in the magnetic moment which for 3 monolayers and below lies in the plane of the film. Exchange-bias behavior is observed below the critical thickness, and may point to induced antiferromagnetism in contact with ferromagnetic regions.
Using a positive semidefinite operator technique one deduces exact ground states for a zig-zag hexagon chain described by a non-integrable Hubbard model with on-site repulsion. Flat bands are not present in the bare band structure, and the operators $hat B^{dagger}_{mu,sigma}$ introducing the electrons into the ground state, are all extended operators and confined in the quasi 1D chain structure of the system. Consequently, increasing the number of carriers, the $hat B^{dagger}_{mu,sigma}$ operators become connected i.e. touch each other on several lattice sites. Hence the spin projection of the carriers becomes correlated in order to minimize the ground state energy by reducing as much as possible the double occupancy leading to a ferromagnetic ground state. This result demonstrates in exact terms in a many-body frame that the conjecture made at two-particle level by G. Brocks et al. [Phys.Rev.Lett.93,146405,(2004)] that the Coulomb interaction is expected to stabilize correlated magnetic ground states in acenes is clearly viable, and opens new directions in the search for routes in obtaining organic ferromagnetism. Due to the itinerant nature of the obtained ferromagnetic ground state, the systems under discussion may have also direct application possibilities in spintronics.
$^{139}$La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements under pressure ($p = 0-2.64$ GPa) have been carried out to investigate the static and dynamic magnetic properties of the itinerant ferromagnet LaCrGe$_3$. $^{139}$La-NMR spectra for all measure d pressures in the ferromagnetically ordered state show a large shift due to the internal field induction $|$$B_{rm int}$$|$ $sim$ 4 T at the La site produced by Cr ordered moments. The change in $B_{rm int}$ by less than 5% with $p$ up to 2.64~GPa indicates that the Cr 3$d$ moments are robust under pressure. The temperature dependence of NMR shift and $B_{rm int}$ suggest that the ferromagnetic order develops below $sim$ 50~K under higher pressures in a magnetic field of $sim$ 7.2 T. Based on the analysis of NMR data using the self-consistent-renormalization (SCR) theory, the spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic state well above $T_{rm C}$ are revealed to be three dimensional ferromagnetic throughout the measured $p$ region.
