Here we measure the full elastic tensors of Mn₃Ge and Mn₃Sn as a function of temperature through their respective antiferromagnetic phase transitions. Large discontinuities in the bulk moduli at the Néel transitions indicate strong magnetoelastic coupling in both compounds. Strikingly, the discontinuities are nearly a factor of 10 larger in Mn₃Ge than in Mn₃Sn. We use the magnitudes of the discontinuities to calculate the pressure derivatives of the Néel temperature, which are 39 K/GPa 14.3 K/GPa for Mn₃Ge and Mn₃Sn, respectively. We measured the in-plane shear modulus c₆₆, which couples strongly to the magnetic order, in magnetic fields up to 18 T and found quantitatively similar behavior in both compounds. Recent measurements have demonstrated strong piezomagnetism in Mn₃Sn : Our results suggest that Mn₃Ge may be an even better candidate for this effect.
