Description

The pressure change of the spontaneous magnetization σS of the itinerant electron ferromagnet CrTe has been determined in the ranges of hydrostatic pressure and temperature of 0-6.1 kbar and 4.2-70 K, respectively. The spontaneous magnetization decreases linearly with pressure at temperatures from 4.2 to 70 K. The values of dσS/dp and d ln σS/dp at 4.2 K are found to be -0.92 emug-1kbar-1 and -1.2 x 10-2 kbar-1, respectively. (orig.)
