The chiral compoundwith a trigonal structure, which is a valence fluctuating material at ambient pressure, undergoes a magnetic order under pressure aboveof 9 GPa. We have studied the temperature-pressure-magnetic-field phase diagrams of this compound by ac calorimetric measurements under pressuresup to 12 GPa. The specific heatdivided by temperature, markedly increases with applying pressure up to. At 8.6 GPa, just belowexhibitsdependence in the temperature range 2–9 K. Atis saturated to a large value, i.e., heavy Fermi-liquid behavior. At, just above, a broad maximum inappears at 1.6 K, indicating the onset of the magnetic order. With increasingfurther, the maximum shifts to a higher temperature and transforms to a sharp-type peak at 5 K for. By using the temperature, pressure, and magnetic fielddependences of the specific-heat dataobtained underand, we have constructedphase diagrams at eachvalue. Another field-induced ordered phase appears in the diagrams only forat. The origin of this induced phase is discussed in relation to the chiral soliton lattice and the skyrmion lattice reported for chiral magnets.
