The recently discovered (Rb,Cs)EuFe₄As₄ compounds exhibit an unusual combination of superconductivity (T_c~35K) and ferromagnetism (T_m~15K). We have performed a series of x-ray diffraction, ac magnetic susceptibility, dc magnetization, and electrical resistivity measurements on both RbEuFe₄As₄ and CsEuFe₄As₄ to pressures as high as ~30GPa. We find that the superconductivity onset is suppressed monotonically by pressure while the magnetic transition is enhanced at initial rates of dT_m/dP~1.7K/GPa and 1.5K/GPa for RbEuFe₄As₄ and CsEuFe₄As₄, respectively. Near 7 GPa, T_c onset and T_m become comparable. At higher pressures, signatures of bulk superconductivity gradually disappear. Room-temperature x-ray diffraction measurements suggest the onset of a transition from tetragonal (T) to a half-collapsed-tetragonal (hcT) phase at ~10GPa (RbEuFe₄As₄) and ~12GPa (CsEuFe₄As₄). In conclusion, the ability to tune T_c and T_m into coincidence with relatively modest pressures highlights (Rb,Cs)EuFe₄As₄ compounds as ideal systems to study the interplay of superconductivity and ferromagnetism.
