Pressure-induced magnetic phase and structural transition in SmSb2

Motivated by the recent discovery of unconventional superconductivity around a magnetic quantum critical point in pressurized CeSb2,here we present a high-pressure study of an isostructural antiferromagnetic(AFM)SmSb2 through electrical transport and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements.At PC~2.5 GPa,we found a pressure-induced mag-netic phase transition accompanied by a Cmca→ P4/nmm structural phase transition.In the pristine AFM phase below PC,the AFM transition temperature of SmSb2 is insensitive to pressure;in the emergent magnetic phase above PC,however,the magnetic critical temperature increases rapidly with increasing pressure.In addition,at ambient pressure,the magne-toresistivity(MR)of SmSb2 increases suddenly upon cooling below the AFM transition temperature and presents linear nonsaturating behavior under high field at 2 K.With increasing pressure above PC,the MR behavior remains similar to that observed at ambient pressure,both in terms of temperature-and field-dependent MR.This leads us to argue an AFM-like state for SmSb2 above PC.Within the investigated pressure of up to 45.3 GPa and the temperature of down to 1.8 K,we found no signature of superconductivity in SmSb2.
