Effects of Pressure and Magnetic Field on Transport Properties of EuCo 2 P 2
2014
The measurements of the electrical resistivity ρ and the thermopower S of single crystal EuCo2P2 have been performed at temperatures from 1.5 to 300 K under hydrostatic pressures up to 3 GPa and in magnetic fields up to 10 T. The temperature dependences of ρ and S show drastic changes at a critical pressure Pc, which indicates a large modification of the electronic structure around the Fermi level due to the valence transition from Eu to Eu. In the low-pressure phase with magnetic Eu and nonmagnetic Co, the magnetic field dependences of ρ and S show sudden decrease at B ≈ 7 T, implying a
metamagnetictransition. On the other hand, no drastic change in ρ(B) and S(B) curves is observed in the high-pressure phase with nonmagnetic Eu and magnetic Co.
