Abstract

The pressure dependence of the Curie temperature was determined in 2-dimensional like ferromagnet, MnAlGe up to a maximum pressure of 7.5 Gpa through measurements of electric resistance vs temperature curves. The pressure coefficient was positive with a considerably high rate of 9 K/GPa in the low pressure ragion, while it decreased gradually down to one order of magnitude smaller value at the maximum pressure. It was concluded that ther is an upper limit of about 550 K in the super-exchange type ferromagnetic interaction between Mn layers.
