摘要:

本文用磁化强度测量和中子衍射研究了Er $_2$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$和Tb $_2$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$高温超导体多晶样品的磁性。这两种化合物分别在140和130 K下发生磁转变,与Ir亚晶格的有序性相关,由热磁磁滞发出信号。在Tb $_2$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$中,我们发现Ir分子场导致Tb磁矩在40 K以下的全进/全出磁性排列中有序化.在Er $_2$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$中,当温度降低到0.6 K时,检测到自旋冻结,但没有发现Er亚晶格上磁性长程序的迹象。这些对比鲜明的行为之间的竞争的Ir分子场和不同的单离子各向异性的稀土元素,它是行动的结果。此外,这强烈支持全进/全出铱磁序。

英文摘要:

The magnetic behavior of polycrystalline samples of Er$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ and Tb$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ pyrochlores is studied by magnetization measurements and neutron diffraction. Both compounds undergo a magnetic transition at 140 and 130 K respectively, associated with an ordering of the Ir sublattice, signaled by thermomagnetic hysteresis. In Tb$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$, we show that the Ir molecular field leads the Tb magnetic moments to order below 40 K in the all-in/all-out magnetic arrangement. No sign of magnetic long range order on the Er sublattice is evidenced in Er$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ down to 0.6 K where a spin freezing is detected. These contrasting behaviors result from the competition between the Ir molecular field and the different single-ion anisotropy of the rare-earths on which it is acting. Additionally, this strongly supports the all-in/all-out iridium magnetic order.
