摘要:

八面体的La $_2$ Ni $_7$和菱面体的Y $_2$ Ni $_7$分别是弱巡游反铁磁体(wAFM)和铁磁体(wFM)。采用X射线粉末衍射和磁性测量相结合的方法研究了$A_2B_7$金属间化合物($A$ = La,Y,$B$ = Ni)的晶体结构和磁性。具有$0 \leq x \leq 1$的La $_{2-x}$ Y $_x$ Ni $_7$金属间化合物以Ce $_{2}$ Ni $_7$型六方结构结晶,其中Y优先位于[ $AB_2$ ]单元中。具有较大Y含量的化合物($1.2 \leq x < 2$)以六方和菱方(Gd $_2$ Co $_7$型)结构结晶,在属于[ $AB_5$ ]单元的$A$位点中Y逐渐取代La。Y $_2$ Ni $_7$仅以菱面体结构结晶。平均泡孔体积随Y含量线性减小,而由于几何约束,c/a比在$x = 1$处呈现最小值。磁性强烈地依赖于结构类型和Y含量。La $_{2}$ Ni $_7$显示出复杂的变质磁性行为,具有分裂的原子力显微镜峰。x = 0.25和0.5的化合物显示wAFM基态和两个变磁跃迁,第一个朝向中间wAFM状态,第二个朝向FM状态。TPDMATHABMZ和第二临界场随Y含量增加,表明AFM状态稳定。LaYNi $_7$作为两种结构类型之间的边界,在低场下呈现非常wFM的状态,并且随着外加场的增加呈现AFM状态。所有含$x > 1$和菱形相的化合物都是wFM,$T_C$ = 53(2)K。除了实验研究,第一性原理计算使用自旋极化已被执行来解释的演变$0 \leq x < 2$的结构相稳定性和磁有序。

英文摘要:

Hexagonal La$_2$Ni$_7$ and rhombohedral Y$_2$Ni$_7$ are weak itinerant antiferromagnet (wAFM) and ferromagnet (wFM), respectively. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of $A_2B_7$ intermetallic compounds ($A$ = La, Y, $B$ = Ni) have been investigated combining X-ray powder diffraction and magnetic measurements. The La$_{2-x}$Y$_x$Ni$_7$ intermetallic compounds with $0 \leq x \leq 1$ crystallize in the Ce$_{2}$Ni$_7$-type hexagonal structure with Y preferentially located in the [$AB_2$] units. The compounds with larger Y content ($1.2 \leq x < 2$) crystallize in both hexagonal and rhombohedral (Gd$_2$Co$_7$-type) structures with a progressive substitution of Y for La in the $A$ sites belonging to the [$AB_5$] units. Y$_2$Ni$_7$ crystallizes in the rhombohedral structure only. The average cell volume decreases linearly versus Y content, whereas the c/a ratio presents a minimum at $x = 1$ due to geometric constrains. The magnetic properties are strongly dependent on the structure type and the Y content. La$_{2}$Ni$_7$ displays a complex metamagnetic behavior with split AFM peaks. Compounds with x = 0.25 and 0.5 display a wAFM ground state and two metamagnetic transitions, the first one towards an intermediate wAFM state and the second one towards a FM state.T$_N$ and the second critical field increase with the Y content, indicating a stabilization of the AFM state. LaYNi$_7$, which is as the boundary between the two structure types, presents a very wFM state at low field and an AFM state as the applied field increases. All the compounds with $x > 1$ and containing a rhombohedral phase are wFM with $T_C$ = 53(2) K. In addition to the experimental studies, first principles calculations using spin polarization have been performed to interpret the evolution of both structural phase stability and magnetic ordering for $0 \leq x < 2$.
