摘要:

我们报告的结果的μ子自旋旋转和弛豫($μ$ SR)研究稀钯$_{1-x}$镍$_x$合金,重点是镍浓度$x =$ 0.0243和0.025。这些都接近临界值$x_\mathrm{cr}$的铁磁长程有序(LRO),这是一个量子临界点的候选人的发病。2.43和2.5 at.% Ni合金表现出类似的$μ$ SR性能。两个样品都是全磁性的,平均μ子局部场$\langle B^\mathrm{loc}\rangle =$为2.0和3.8 mT,居里温度$T_C =$为1.0和2.03 K,2.43和2.5 at.% Ni,分别在$T = 0$。$\langle B^\mathrm{loc}\rangle$的温度依赖性表明Ni自旋团簇而不是孤立自旋的有序性。就在$T_C$之上,发现了具有准静态短程有序(SRO)和顺磁性的单独体积分数的两相区。SRO分数随着温度升高而降低到零,温度高于$T_C$几开尔文。这种SRO和顺磁性的混合物与具有Ni聚集的不均匀合金的概念一致。$T_C$的测量值外推至$x_\mathrm{cr}$ = 0.0236 $\pm$ 0.0027。在$T_C$附近的动态μ子自旋弛豫对于两个样品是不同的:对于$x$ = 0.0243,在$T_C$处观察到弛豫速率最大值,这让人想起临界减速,而对于$x =$ 0.025,在$μ$ SR时间窗口内没有观察到动态弛豫。数据表明,在这种合金的平均场的转变。

英文摘要:

We report results of a muon spin rotation and relaxation ($μ$SR) study of dilute Pd$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$ alloys, with emphasis on Ni concentrations $x =$ 0.0243 and 0.025. These are close to the critical value $x_\mathrm{cr}$ for the onset of ferromagnetic long-range order (LRO), which is a candidate for a quantum critical point. The 2.43 and 2.5 at.% Ni alloys exhibit similar $μ$SR properties. Both samples are fully magnetic, with average muon local fields $\langle B^\mathrm{loc}\rangle =$ 2.0 and 3.8 mT and Curie temperatures $T_C =$ 1.0 and 2.03 K for 2.43 and 2.5 at.% Ni, respectively, at $T = 0$. The temperature dependence of $\langle B^\mathrm{loc}\rangle$ suggests ordering of Ni spin clusters rather than isolated spins. Just above $T_C$ a two-phase region is found with separate volume fractions of quasistatic short-range order (SRO) and paramagnetism. The SRO fraction decreases to zero with increasing temperature a few kelvin above $T_C$. This mixture of SRO and paramagnetism is consistent with the notion of an inhomogeneous alloy with Ni clustering. The measured values of $T_C$ extrapolate to $x_\mathrm{cr}$ = 0.0236 $\pm$ 0.0027. The dynamic muon spin relaxation in the vicinity of $T_C$ differs for the two samples: a relaxation-rate maximum at $T_C$ is observed for $x$ = 0.0243, reminiscent of critical slowing down, whereas for $x =$ 0.025 no dynamic relaxation is observed within the $μ$SR time window. The data suggest a mean-field-like transition in this alloy.
