Under high P the FE disappears above 6 GPa, yet the P evolution of the magnetic structure remained unclear based on available data. Here we report high P single crystal neutron diffraction experiments in theMF phase at T = 4.5 K.We observe clearly that the incommensurate spiral component of the magnetic order responsible for FE varies little with P up to 5.1 GPa.
