摘要:

本文研究了金属间化合物中Sm磁性的特殊性。为此,生长高质量的SmPd 2 Al 3单晶,并对比热、磁化强度、交流磁化率和电阻率随温度和沿主晶向施加的磁场的变化进行详细测量。SmPd2Al3磁性被发现是强烈的各向异性与易磁化方向沿c轴的主要磁性特征集中。即使在磁有序状态下,a轴响应仍然很弱,类似顺磁性。铁磁性与TC=12.4 K已被指示的所有测量的物理性质。在较低的温度下,已经观察到三个连续的顺序顺序相变的比热的温度依赖性作为三个异常:在3.4,3.9,和4.4 K,分别。低温磁化数据可以理解的情况下,认为反铁磁基态逐渐被破坏,通过一系列的四个变磁过渡在0.03,0.35,0.5,和0.75 T,在1.8 K磁化数据中检测到。实验数据进行了讨论与电子结构和晶体场计算的结果从第一性原理,这是作为一个重要的一部分的研究所观察到的行为的SmPd2Al3化合物的理解和解释。

英文摘要:

In this paper, specific features of Sm magnetism in an intermetallic compound have been studied. For this purpose, a high-quality single crystal of SmPd2Al3 was grown and subjected to detailed measurements of specific heat, magnetization, ac susceptibility, and electrical resistivity with respect to temperature and a magnetic field applied along the principal crystallographic directions. SmPd2Al3 magnetism was found to be strongly anisotropic with the easy-magnetization direction along the c axis where the main magnetic features are concentrated. The a-axis response remains weak, paramagneticlike, even in the magnetically ordered state. Ferromagnetism with TC=12.4 K has been indicated by all the measured physical properties. At lower temperatures, three successive order-order phase transitions have been observed on the temperature dependence of the specific heat as three anomalies: at 3.4, 3.9, and 4.4 K, respectively. The low-temperature magnetization data can be understood within a scenario that considers the antiferromagnetic ground state as being gradually destroyed through a series of four metamagnetic transitions at 0.03, 0.35, 0.5, and 0.75 T, as detected in the 1.8 K magnetization data. The experimental data are discussed together with the results of electronic-structure and crystal-field calculations from first principles, which were performed as an important part of the study for comprehension and explanation of the observed behavior of the SmPd2Al3 compound.
