Implication

Experimental analysis reveals pressure-induced changes in magnetism and conductivity in a low-dimensional magnetic semiconductor, suggesting new quantum states.

Key Points

This research investigates the effects of pressure on the structural and magnetic properties of YbMn2Sb2.
Single-crystal X-ray diffraction to study structural changes under pressure.
Magnetization measurements to observe magnetic behavior up to 400 K.
Temperature-dependent resistivity measurements to assess electrical properties under pressure.
Neutron diffraction to identify magnetic structures under pressure.
A structural transition from P m 1 to P 2 1 / m occurs near 3.5 GPa, stable to 10 GPa.
Anomalously weak net magnetic moment indicates short-range magnetic order evolving into long-range order.
Resistivity shows semiconductor behavior with a transition at ∼119 K, but shifts to metallic-like under pressure beyond 5 GPa.
Density functional theory calculations confirm closing of the band gap under compression.
