摘要:

采用快速淬火法合成了新型四元金属间化合物TmCo_2B_2C。元素和粉末衍射分析建立了正确的化学计量和单相特性。晶体结构与TmNi_2B_2C(I_4/mmm)的晶体结构是同晶的,并且在所研究的温度范围内是稳定的。在高于7 K时,顺磁性状态遵循修正的居里-外斯行为(X=C/(T-theta)+X 0,其中X 0 =0.008(1)emu/mole,温度依赖项反映Tm子系统的顺磁性:ueff=7.6(2)uB [与游离Tm 3+离子的预期值一致],θ = -4.5(3)K。Tm亚晶格的长程铁磁有序在~1 K附近发展。TmCo 2B 2C在低于20 mK时没有检测到超导性,这一特征与RCo 2B 2C系列的总体趋势一致。最后,快淬工艺对TmNi_2B_2C的磁性(和超导电性)的影响将被讨论,并与TmCo_2B_2C的磁性(和超导电性)进行比较。

英文摘要:

A new quaternary intermetallic borocarbide TmCo2B2C has been synthesized via a rapid-quench of an arc-melted ingot. Elemental and powder-diffraction analyses established its correct stoichiometry and single-phase character. The crystal structure is isomorphous to that of TmNi2B2C(I4/mmm) and is stable over the studied temperature range. Above 7 K, the paramagnetic state follows the modified Curie-Weiss behavior (X=C/(T-theta)+X0 wherein X0=0.008(1) emu/mole and the temperature-dependent term reflecting the paramagnetism of the Tm subsystem: ueff=7.6(2) uB [in agreement with the expected value for a free Tm3+ ion] and theta = -4.5(3) K. Long range ferromagnetic order of the Tm sublattice is observed to develop around ~1 K. No superconductivity is detected in TmCo2B2C down to 20 mK, a feature which is consistent with the general trend in the RCo2B2C series. Finally, the influence of the rapid-quench process on the magnetism (and superconductivity) of TmNi2B2C will be discussed and compared to that of TmCo2B2C.
