| We discuss a first-order phase transition from non-magnetic to magnetic phase at T=0. New results are presented on a spontaneously formed magnetic phase and its energy in the C15 atomic structure, in the presence of the antiferromagnetic interaction. A dynamic phase diagram is constructed for the phase transition. The results are discussed in the context of the pressure-driven phase transition, which was observed experimentally in YMn2. |
