23. We observed the TMR ratio for two samples of 52 at.% Co at high pressure up to 9 GPa in order to check the reproducibility of the results. The TMR ratio at 4.2K of both specimens shows the same pressure dependence qualitatively as that shown Fig. 9. But the increasing rate of TMR ratio is found to depend on the sample. In the other sample (not shown), we observed extremely large enhancement of TMR ratio at 6 GPa.
