We report on the hydrostatic pressure dependence of the order of ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) phase transition in a (Sm(0.7)Nd(0.3))(0.52)Sr(0.48)MnO(3) single crystal. At ambient pressure, the system undergoes a first-order FM-PM phase transition at 146 K. The application of pressure increases the T(C), suppresses the hysteresis width, and thus makes the transition second order. We have analyzed the critical behavior associated with the second-order FM-PM transition in the presence of an external pressure (12.1 kbar) and obtained the critical exponents beta=0.358, gamma=1.297, and delta=4.536, which are close to those predicted for the three-dimensional Heisenberg system. Using these values of beta, gamma, and T(C) ( approximately 176 K), one can scale the magnetization data below and above T(C) following a single equation of state.
