Can anyone tell me the reason for the change of the sign of magnetoresistance as a function of pressure?

We studied the pressure dependence of the magnetoresistance in the magnetic semiconductor MnS2. We know that MnS2 undergoes a pressure induced structural transition associated with high-spin to...
