- The K2Cr8O16 compound belongs to a series of quasi-1D compounds with intriguing magnetic properties that are stabilized through a high-pressure synthesis technique. In this study, a muon spin rotation, relaxation and resonance (mu+SR) technique is used to investigate the pressure dependent magnetic properties up to 25 kbar. mu+SR allows for measurements in true zero applied field and hereby access the true intrinsic material properties. As a result, a refined temperature/pressure phase diagram is presented revealing a novel low temperature/high pressure (p(C1) = 21 kbar) transition from a ferromagnetic insulating to a high-pressure antiferromagnetic insulator. Finally, the current study also indicates the possible presence of a quantum critical point at p(C2) similar to 33 kbar where the magnetic order in K2Cr8O16 is expected to be fully suppressed even at T = 0 K.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this study, the magnetic ground state of the hollandite type material K2Cr8O16 was tuned by externally applied pressure and investigated using µ+SR method in Zero-field (ZF) and weak-transversefield (wTF) configurations. As a result, the obtained magnetic transition temperature for the measuredpressures differs notably from magnetization measurements. Moreover, both wTF and ZF data reveala transition between two different magnetically ordered states at low temperatures for higher pressures. Further theoretical and experimental studies are currently being planned in order to elucidatethe detailed nature of the magnetically ordered phase.

- The microscopic magnetic nature of the A-site ordered chromium perovskites CaCu3Cr4O12 and LaCu3Cr4O12 and their solid-solution system, Ca1-x LaxCu3Cr4O12, with x = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8, has been studied with muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu+SR) measurements down to 2 K using a powder sample. For CaCu3Cr4O12, mu+SR revealed the formation of static antiferromagnetic (AF) order below 122 K (=T-N), although magnetization measurements showed a very small change at T-N. Analyses of the internal magnetic field H-int at the muon sites, predicted with first-principles calculations, suggested G-type AF order as a ground state. For LaCu3Cr4O12 with T-N = 225 K, mu+SR also supported the presence of aG-type AF ordered state, which was recently proposed based on neutron diffraction measurements. However, the ordered Cr moments were found to change the direction at around 10 K. For Ca1-xLaxCu3Cr4O12, both T-N and H-int at 2 K increase monotonically with x.
