The transition-metal pnictide system MX (M = transition metal and X = P, As, and Sb) has been studied for several decades because those materials show rich magnetic phase diagrams. Since the recent discovery of unconventional superconductivity in isomorphic CrAs and MnP under high pressures, physical properties of the two materials have been investigated intensively as a function of pressure. In particular, since both materials exhibit quantum critical behavior with applied pressure, magnetic fluctuations are considered to be the key to the superconducting pairing mechanism. Interestingly, both materials were found to show double helical spin structures in the vicinity of the pressure-induced superconducting phase. Here, a review is given on the magnetic properties of MX, including our high-pressure neutron scattering studies performed in CrAs and MnP. We also give a brief review on technical developments of high pressure cells for neutron diffraction, including the high pressure cells used for our high pressure measurements in CrAs and MnP.
