In the Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite series, Sr_n+1 Ru_n O_{3 n+1}, intense experimental and theoretical efforts have been dedicated to unravel the nature of unconventional superconductivity in single-layer Sr₂ RuO₄(n=1) as well as a putative electronic nematic phase masking the quantum critical endpoint in the double-layer itinerant metamagnet Sr₃ Ru₂ O₇ (n=2). We report an experimental study of the zero temperature ferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic transition under pressures up to 20 GPa in high quality single crystals of the infinite layer itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO₃(n=∞). Electrical transport measurements in Bridgman anvil high pressure cells, as well as neutron depolarization measurements in diamond anvil cells were performed on SrRuO₃. Our study aims to investigate quantum criticality in SrRuO₃ and reconcile the properties of Sr₃ Ru₂ O₇ and Sr₂ RuO₄ with the generic temperature-pressure-magnetic field phase diagram of itinerant ferromagnets.
