摘要:

测量了SmPt $_{2}$ Cd $_{20}$单晶的电阻率、磁化强度和比热。已经发现,SmPt $_{2}$ Cd $_{20}$在$T_{\rm C} = 0.64$ K处表现出铁磁(FM)转变,这是立方化合物中最低的。比热除以温度随温度的降低而增加,甚至低于$T_{\rm C}$,并在0.26 K时达到4.5 J/mol K $^{2}$,这意味着大量的磁量子涨落。磁熵的分析表明,结晶电场分裂的Sm $J = 5/2$多重与$Γ_{7}$的双重基态和$Γ_8$四重激发态(激发能$\sim30$ K)。电阻率在$T^{0.74}$低于2 K时表现出幂律行为,而在$T_{\rm C}$时没有表现出任何明显的异常。SmPt $_{2}$ Cd $_{20}$被认为是位于FM量子临界点附近的稀有立方系统。

英文摘要:

Electrical resistivity, magnetization and specific heat have been measured for single crystals of SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$. It has been found that SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$ exhibits a ferromagnetic (FM) transition at $T_{\rm C} = 0.64$ K, the lowest among cubic compounds. Specific heat divided by temperature increases with decreasing temperature even below $T_{\rm C}$ and attains 4.5 J/mol K$^{2}$ at 0.26 K, implying substantial magnetic quantum fluctuations. An analysis of the magnetic entropy suggests the crystalline-electric-field splitting of the Sm $J = 5/2$ multiplet with a $Γ_{7}$ doublet ground state and a $Γ_8$ quartet excited state (the excitation energy of $\sim30$ K). The electrical resistivity shows a power-law behavior with $T^{0.74}$ below 2 K without showing any noticeable anomaly at $T_{\rm C}$. SmPt$_{2}$Cd$_{20}$ is regarded as a rare cubic system that is located in the vicinity of a FM quantum critical point.
