Description

We report electrical and magnetic properties of LaTMPO (TM = Fe, Ni) under high pressures. From resistivity measurements, superconducting transition temperature Tc for LaFePO and LaNiPO increases steeply up to about 0.8 GPa, and the dTc/dP values are more than 4 K/GPa and 1 K/GPa, respectively. From the results of high-pressure x-ray diffraction measurements, the oxypnictide compounds show an anisotropic compression along a-axis and c-axis.
