Abstract

Antiferromagnetism in EuCo2P2 ( ThCr2Si2-type structure) is due to ordering of the Eu2+(S7/28) sublattice moments (TN=66.5K) while the Co(3d) sublattice does not carry any magnetic moment. EuCo2P2 undergoes a pressure-induced isostructural phase transition at pc=3.1GPa. 151Eu high-pressure Mössbauer experiments (0p5GPa) reveal a valence transition of Eu from Eu2+ to nonmagnetic Eu3+(F07) at p>pc with the consequence that the disappearance of the Eu(4f) sublattice magnetism is accompanied by a simultaneous appearance of Co(3d) sublattice magnetism (TN*=260K). The latter is explained by the filling of the 3d states.
