摘要:

我们通过磁化强度、热容量、电阻率、μ子自旋旋转($μ$ SR)和中子散射(弹性和非弹性)测量,详细研究了空穴(3\% Re)掺杂对多晶CeRu $_{2}$ Al $_{10}$样品的影响。CeRu $_2$ Al $_{10}$是一种特殊的铈化合物,具有27 K的异常高的Neel温度。在这里,我们研究的不寻常的磁秩序的稳定性,通过控制掺杂,我们发现进一步令人惊讶的属性,这种相变。的热容,电阻率和$μ$ SR测量揭示了低于23 K的磁有序的开始,而在31 K(即高于$T_N$)的宽峰,已被观察到的温度依赖的磁化率,表明自旋间隙以上$T_N$的开放。我们从中子衍射中得到的重要发现是:该化合物是反铁磁有序的,其传播矢量为$\bf k$ =(100),沿$b-$轴的有序态矩为0.20(1)$μ_B$.这与未掺杂的化合物形成鲜明对比,未掺杂的化合物在27 K下显示AFM有序,沿着$c-$轴的有序矩为0.39(3)$μ_B$。与CeRu $_2$ Al $_{10}$类似,我们对Re掺杂的非弹性中子散射研究表明,在5 K下,在8 meV附近存在尖锐的自旋隙型激发,但与未掺杂的化合物相比,强度略有降低。此外,在35 K附近激发加宽并向较低能量($\le$ 4 meV)移动。这些结果表明,空穴掺杂样品的低温磁性能是由各向异性杂化效应和晶场各向异性之间的竞争所决定的,正如在空穴掺杂CeO_3PDMATHABMP Al $_{10}$中所观察到的那样.

英文摘要:

We present a detailed investigation of the hole (3\% Re) doping effect on the polycrystalline CeRu$_{2}$Al$_{10}$ sample by magnetization, heat capacity, resistivity, muon spin rotation ($μ$SR), and neutron scattering (both elastic and inelastic) measurements. CeRu$_2$Al$_{10}$ is an exceptional cerium compound with an unusually high Neel temperature of 27 K. Here we study the stability of the unusual magnetic order by means of controlled doping, and we uncover further surprising attributes of this phase transition. The heat capacity, resistivity and $μ$SR measurements reveal an onset of magnetic ordering below 23 K, while a broad peak at 31 K (i.e. above $T_N$), has been observed in the temperature dependent susceptibility, indicating an opening of a spin gap above $T_N$. Our important finding, from the neutron diffraction, is that the compound orders antiferromagnetically with a propagation vector $\bf k$ = (1 0 0) and the ordered state moment is 0.20(1)$μ_B$ along the $b-$axis. This is in sharp contrast to the undoped compound, which shows AFM ordering at 27 K with the ordered moment of 0.39(3)$μ_B$ along the $c-$axis. Similar to CeRu$_2$Al$_{10}$ our inelastic neutron scattering study on the Re doped shows a sharp spin gap-type excitation near 8 meV at 5 K, but with slightly reduced intensity compared to the undoped compound. Further the excitation broadens and shifts to lower energy ($\le$ 4 meV) near 35 K. These results suggest that the low temperature magnetic properties of the hole doped sample is governed by the competition between the anisotropic hybridization effect and crystal field anisotropy as observed in hole-doped CeOs$_2$Al$_{10}$.
