We report a comprehensive study of the spin ladder compoundusing neutron diffraction, inelastic neutron scattering, high pressure synchrotron diffraction, and high pressure transport techniques. We find thatpossesses the samestructure and stripe antiferromagnetic order as does, but with a reduced Néel temperature ofK compared to 120 K for the undoped system, and a slightly increased ordered moment ofper iron. The low-energy spin excitations inare likewise similar to those observed in. However, unlike the reports of superconductivity inbelowK under pressures of 10 GPa or more, we observe no superconductivity inat any pressure up to 19.7 GPa. In contrast, the resistivity exhibits an upturn at low temperature under pressure. Furthermore, we show that additional high-quality samples ofsynthesized for this study likewise fail to become superconducting under pressure, instead displaying a similar upturn in resistivity at low temperature. These results demonstrate that microscopic, sample-specific details play an important role in determining the ultimate electronic ground state in this spin ladder system. We suggest that the upturn in resistivity at low temperature in bothandmay result from Anderson localization induced by S vacancies and random Se substitutions, enhanced by the quasi-one-dimensional ladder structure.
