High pressure effect on the crystal and magnetic structure of Pr0.1Sr0.9MnO3 manganite

The crystal and magnetic structure of Pr_0.1Sr_0.9MnO₃ manganite has been studied by the neutron diffraction at high pressures up to 5 GPa in the temperature range 10?C295 K. At normal pressure and decreasing temperature the appearance of the C-type (T _N = 220 K) and G-type (T _N = 180 K) antiferromagnetic states occurs, which is accompanied by a structural phase transition from the cubic structure (Pm $ bar 3 $ m space group) to the tetragonal structure (I4/mcm space group). It is shown that the temperature of the transition to the C-type antiferromagnetic phase increases with pressure with the pressure coefficient dT _N/dP = 4.0(5) K/GPa and the temperature of the transition to the G-type antiferromagnetic phase weakly depends on pressure.
