Abstract

We have measured the X-ray absorption spectra (XAS), electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility of EuRh2Si2, which undergoes a valence transition under high pressures. A sharp decrease in the Eu valence determined from the XAS was observed at around 70 K in the temperature dependence at P = 1.2–1.9 GPa. In the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility, we observed jumps associated with the temperature-induced valence transition under high pressures. The magnetoresistance detected a field-induced valence transition. The results are discussed from the thermodynamic point of view.
