Influence of Pressure on the Magnetic Response of the Low-Dimensional Quantum Magnet Cu(H₂O)₂(C₂H₈N₂)SO₄

The influence of pressure on the low-dimensional molecular magnet Cu(H₂O)₂(en)SO₄ (en = ethylenediamine = C₂H₈N₂) has theoretically been shown to affect the exchange interactions of the material. Herein, the results of an experimental study of hydrostatic pressure effects on the temperature dependence of the magnetization are reported. Using two different pressure cells, the magnetization measurements were performed between 2 K and 9.6 K with pressures ranging from ambient to 5.0 GPa. The data preliminarily suggest the presence of a shift in the magnetization peak of the material at the lowest temperatures and at the highest applied pressures. These data serve as a guide for future experimental work employing pressure to study this intriguing system.
