摘要:

我们提出了一个详细的调查的物理性质的Ce $_2 $ Sb和Ce $_2 $ Bi单晶,分别在8.2和10 K左右发生反铁磁转变。当施加平行于$c$轴的磁场时,在低温下观察到变磁转变,对应于磁场诱导的相变。结果发现,场致相变的变化,从二阶在较高的温度下,在低温下的一阶,这表明在这两个化合物的三临界点(TCP)的存在。由于用Sb替代Bi抑制TCP至较低温度并且对应于正化学压力,因此这些结果表明向Ce $_2$ Sb施加压力可抑制TCP至较低温度,潜在地至量子三临界点处的零温度。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed investigation of the physical properties of Ce$_2 $Sb and Ce$_2 $Bi single crystals, which undergo antiferromagnetic transitions at around 8.2 and 10 K respectively. When magnetic fields are applied parallel to the $c$ axis, metamagnetic transitions are observed at low temperatures, corresponding to a magnetic field-induced phase transition. It is found that the field-induced transition changes from second-order at higher temperatures, to first-order at low temperatures, suggesting the existence of tricritical points (TCPs) in both compounds. Since replacing Bi with Sb suppresses the TCP to lower temperatures and corresponds to a positive chemical pressure, these results suggest that applying pressure to Ce$_2$Sb may suppress the TCP to lower temperatures, potentially to zero temperature at a quantum tricritical point.
