Abstract
The cubic-to-tetragonal structural phase transition of KMn has been investigated by measurement of the phase diagrams with uniaxial pressure along [110] and [100]. Results indicate the existence of a tricritical point near kbar with along [110], and two new consecutive tricritical points near kbar with along [100].
