Neutron diffraction study of Lu2Fe17 under high pressure

Neutron diffraction techniques were used to study the evolution of the magnetic states of Lu2Fe17 under hydrostatic pressure up to 5 kbar in the temperature range 2-300 K. The ferromagnetic phase gets suppressed by pressure and an incommensurate antiferromagnetic phase is found to exist down to 2 K under a pressure of 5 kbar. The complex thermal evolution of the magnetic structures of Lu2Fe17 at ambient and high pressures is presented and discussed
