The isostructural family of the Chromium spinels (ACr2X4) show diverse magnetic ground states due to an interesting variety of competing magnetic interactions between the chromium ions. We report the magnetization of ferromagnetic mercury chromium spinel HgCr2Se4 up to 1.7 GPa. To extend these data we used high pressure neutron depolarization measurements, allowing us to quantify the evolution of ferromagnetic domains up to 4 GPa and down to very low temperatures. Surprisingly, the critical temperature displays a complex phase diagram, pointing to a loss of ferromagnetism above 3 GPa. Our results demonstrate, on a proof of principle level, the feasibility of combining miniaturized moissanite anvil cells, with neutron depolarization imaging. This paves the way for studies of ferromagnetic and superconducting phases up to very high pressures in a rather simple manner.
