Abstract
The variation of the Curie temperature for the weak ferromagnet Zr has been determined as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 25 kbar. is found initially to decrease linearly with pressure at a rate °K , followed by an abrupt change of slope at 7.5 kbar and a rapid fall, extrapolating to a critical pressure of 8.5 kbar for the destruction of ferromagnetism. The measured curve agrees well with the relationship which is derived from the theory of itinerant ferromagnetism.
