High quality single crystals of the itinerant antiferromagnet CrB2, TN=88 K, were grown by means of optical float zoning. Bulk, transport and de Haas-van Alphen measurements were carried out [1,2]. Here, we present a comprehensive study of the high-pressure transport properties. Samples were investigated under hydrostatic, uniaxial and quasi-hydrostatic conditions. As a result we are able to attribute contradictory reports for the pressure dependence of TN to uniaxial strain [3, 4]. Perhaps most interestingly, we find a pronounced low temperature resistivity anomaly around 3 GPa in the quasi-hydrostatic case.
