Abstract

Magnetism induced by external pressure (p) was studied in a FeSe crystal sample by means of muon-spin rotation. The magnetic transition changes from second order to first order for pressures exceeding the critical value pc≃2.4-2.5 GPa. The magnetic ordering temperature (TN) and the value of the magnetic moment per Fe site (mFe) increase continuously with increasing pressure, reaching TN≃50 K and mFe≃0.25μB at p≃2.6 GPa, respectively. No pronounced features at both TN(p) and mFe(p) are detected at p≃pc, thus suggesting that the stripe-type magnetic order in FeSe remains unchanged above and below the critical pressure pc. A phenomenological model for the (p,T) phase diagram of FeSe reveals that these observations are consistent with a scenario where the nematic transitions of FeSe at low and high pressures are driven by different mechanisms.
