24. The magnetic phase transition paramagnetic-ferromagnetic (P-F) has been reported in MnAs bulk at 230 K under about 1.1 GPa stress pressure. An extrapolation pressure-temperature phase indicates that the stress of 1.5 GPa is to perform the (P-F) transition at 328 K in MnAs bulk. See, N. Menyuk, J. A. Kafalas, K. Dwight, and J. B. Goodenough, Phys. Rev. 177, 942 (1969).
