Abstract:

The resistivity and  magnetoresistance of Fe3O4 were  investigated at a high pressure by means of in\|situ electrical resistivity measurement with diamond anvil cell. We obtained the relationship of resistivity as a function of pressure. When p>6 GPa or p<6 GPa, the resistivity of Fe3O4 decreases with increasing pressure. Its dropdown speed at pressure p<6 GPa is faster than that at pressure higher than 6 GPa. When  p<6 GPa, the sample shows a normal magnetic resistance effect. When p>6 GPa, the sample shows a negative magnetic resistance effect. This phenomenon indicates that an electronic phase related to electron spin happens at 6 GPa.
