Abstract
The magnetic nature of the quasi-one-dimensional has been studied as a function of temperature down to 0.25 K and pressure up to 1.97 GPa on a powder sample using the positive muon spin rotation and relaxation () technique. At ambient pressure, enters an incommensurate antiferromagnetic ordered state below the temperature . is almost constant as the pressure () increases from ambient pressure to 1.4 GPa, then decreases rapidly for , and finally disappears at , above which a metallic phase is stabilized. Hence, is found to be equivalent to the pressure-induced metal-insulator transition temperature () at .
