Abstract
Abstract The ferromagnetism of β-phase p-nitrophenyl nitronyl nitroxide has been established by various measurements at an ambient pressure. To get further insight into the magnetic interactions, the pressure effect on the magnetic and thermal properties has been examined in the pressure range of 0–7.7 kbar. Important feature of the results is twofold. One is a reduction of the Curie temperature with applied pressure. This suggests that the exchange interactions are mainly responsible for determination of the Curie temperature. Dipolar couplings are estimated to be too small to explain the observed Curie temperature. The other is the lowering of the lattice dimensionality. The heat capacity curve under the pressure of 7.2 kbar coincides with the theory for a two-dimensional Heisenberg ferromagnet above the Curie temperature. This suggests that the interactions between the neighboring ac-plane are more affected by compression of the crystal.
