Magnetic transition of ferromagnetic material at high pressure using a novel system

A system for the investigation of the magnetic properties of materials under high pressure is fabricated based on diamond anvil cell (DAC) technology. The system is designed with an improved coil arranged around the diamond of a non-magnetic DAC. Using this system, the magnetic transition of ferromagnetic (Fe) sample under increasing pressure can be observed. We successfully obtain the evolution of magnetic properties as a function of applied pressure reaching 26.9 GPa in the Fe sample. A magnetic transition is observed at approximately 13 GPa, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction.
