Pressure-Dependent Increase in T-c and Magnetic Behavior of [Ru-2(O2CBut)(4)](3)[M(CN)(6)]center dot 2H(2)O (M = Cr, Fe)
Magnetization as a function of applied pressure up to 10.16 kbar and magnetic field were obtained for layered [Ru-2(O2CBut)(4)](3)[M-(CN)(6)]center dot 2H(2)O (M = Cr, Fe). For M = Fe, the T-c increased by 13% from 6.1 to 6.9 K with a significant increase in the coercive field, H-cr, from 5 to 65 Oe, followed by a sharp decrease to less than 10 Oe at further applied pressure. A 32% increase in T-c, from 37.8 to 50.0 K was observed for M = Cr as well as a linear decrease of H-cr upon increasing pressure from 6380 to 2380 Oe.
