Title: Strong enhancement of magnetic ordering temperature and structural/valence transitions in EuPd 3 S 4 under high pressure

Abstract

We present a comprehensive study of the inhomogeneous mixed-valence compound, EuPd 3 S 4 , by electrical transport, X-ray diffraction, time-domain 151 Eu synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements under high pressure. Electrical transport measurements show that the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature, T N , increases rapidly from 2.8 K at ambient pressure to 23.5 K at ~19 GPa and plateaus between ~19 and ~29 GPa after which no anomaly associated with T N is detected. A pressure-induced first-order structural transition from cubic to tetragonal is observed, with a rather broad coexistence region (~20 GPa to ~30 GPa) that corresponds to the T N plateau. Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements show a clear valence transition from approximately 50:50 Eu 2+ :Eu 3+ to fully Eu 3+ at ~28 GPa, consistent with the vanishing of the magnetic order at the same pressure. X-ray absorption data show a transition to a fully trivalent state at a similar pressure. Our results show that pressure first greatly enhances T N , most likely via enhanced hybridization between the Eu 4 f states and the conduction band, and then, second, causes a structural phase transition that coincides with the conversion of the europium to a fullymore » trivalent state.« less
