Abstract
We report a Raman scattering study of the pressure-induced collapse of the Mott-like phases of () and (). The pressure dependence of the phonon and two-magnon excitations in these materials indicate (i) a pressure-induced collapse of the antiferromagnetic (AF) insulating phase above in and in , (ii) a remarkable insensitivity of the exchange interaction to pressure in both systems, and (iii) evidence for persistent AF correlations above the critical pressure of , suggestive of phase separation involving AF insulator and ferromagnetic metal phases.
