Abstract
This work presents a high-pressure study of the crystal structure and magnetic ground state of EuSn₂P₂ up to 62 GPa. Pressure drives EuSn₂P₂ from a rhombohedral crystal to an amorphous phase at 36 GPa, accompanied by a fourfold enhancement of magnetic ordering temperature. In the amorphous phase, Eu ions exhibit an intermediate valence state. The enhanced magnetic ordering temperature is attributed to stronger Eu-Sn interaction at high pressure.
