Effects of high pressures on magnetism in UNiGa

Abstract

In this article, we present the results of magnetization measurements of UNiGa single crystal (field along c-axis) under high hydrostatic pressures up to 0.9 GPa, as well as the effect of uniaxial stress applied along the crystallographic c-axis. We measured both the temperature dependencies of magnetization in the external magnetic fields and the magnetic isotherms under various high hydrostatic pressures up to 0.9 GPa and uniaxial stress up to 0.2 GPa applied along the c-axis.

Keywords:

• high pressure
• uniaxial stress
