✦ Synopsis

High-pressure anvil technique and neutron powder di4raction have been used to study the magnetic structures of cubic Pd 3 Mn and Pd 3 MnD 0.7 at pressure of 4.6 GPa and 4.2 GPa, respectively. The incommensurate helix structure of Pd 3 Mn is retained under pressure. The ferrimagnetic structure of Pd 3 MnD 0.7 obtained at ambient pressure changes to a pure ferromagnetic one with the moments in the [100] direction.
