Abstract

The magnetic phase diagram Tc(P)T_c(P) of the weak itinerant helimagnetic compound MnSi is reviewed upon a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiment. We present a systematic study on the evolution of the NMR spin echo signal at T=1.4T=1.4 K of the non-magnetic silicone sites, 29^{29}Si, up to 17.8 kbar. The pressure effect is interpreted as a weak variation of the local electronic spin polarization and the coexistence of magnetic and non magnetic Mn atoms under pressure. From the volume dependence of f0f_0 (PP), we show notably that a local magnetic order remains above the critical pressure of Pc=14.8P_c=14.8 kbar.
