Abstract
Electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements of the itinerant ferromagnet ${\mathrm{CoS}}_{2}$ at high pressures reveal that its magnetic ordering temperature is tuned to zero at a critical pressure 4.8 GPa, indicating the existence of a quantum-phase transition. The ambient pressure continuous magnetic-phase transition in ${\mathrm{CoS}}_{2}$ becomes first order on a very slight pressure increase, with a tricritical point probably located almost at ambient pressure. No deviations from Fermi-liquid behavior were found in the vicinity of the quantum-phase transition in ${\mathrm{CoS}}_{2}$, implying its strong first-order nature.
