摘要:

我们报告的环境压力比热,磁化率,各向异性电阻率和热膨胀,以及在压力高达20.8 kbar的EuAg $_4$作为$_2$单晶的面内电阻率随温度变化的测量。基于热膨胀和在环境压力下的面内电输运测量,该化合物在80 - 120 K温度范围内具有两个一级结构转变。环境压力下的比热,磁化强度和热膨胀测量显示了级联的高达7个过渡8和16 K之间与有序的Eu $^{2+}$时刻。面内电输运能够检测到更突出的这些转变:在15.5,9.9和8.7 K以及在11.8 K在环境压力下的弱功能。压力相关的电输运数据表明,在压力下的磁性转变转移到更高的温度下,作为上部的结构转变,而较低的结构转变被抑制,并最终消失。与上部结构转变相关的电阻率跳变在压力下减小,外推消失(或符号变化)30-35 kbar。在10 - 15 kbar的范围内的扭结的压力依赖性的上部结构转变温度以及高和低温面内折射率表明,在电子结构的变化可能会发生在这个压力范围内。将结果与SrAg $_4$ As $_2$的文献数据进行了比较。

英文摘要:

We report temperature dependent measurements of ambient pressure specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, anisotropic resistivity and thermal expansion as well as in-plane resistivity under pressure up to 20.8 kbar on single crystals of EuAg$_4$As$_2$. Based on thermal expansion and in-plane electrical transport measurements at ambient pressure this compound has two, first order, structural transitions in 80 - 120 K temperature range. Ambient pressure specific heat, magnetization and thermal expansion measurements show a cascade of up to seven transitions between 8 and 16 K associated with the ordering of the Eu$^{2+}$ moments. In-plane electrical transport is able to detect more prominent of these transitions: at 15.5, 9.9, and 8.7 K as well as a weak feature at 11.8 K at ambient pressure. Pressure dependent electrical transport data show that the magnetic transitions shift to higher temperatures under pressure, as does the upper structural transition, whereas the lower structural transition is suppressed and ultimately vanishes. A jump in resistivity, associated with the upper structural transition, decreases under pressure with an extrapolated disappearance (or a change of sign) by 30-35 kbar. In the 10 - 15 kbar range a kink in the pressure dependence of the upper structural transition temperature as well as the high and low temperature in-plane resistivities suggest that a change in the electronic structure may occur in this pressure range. The results are compared with the literature data for SrAg$_4$As$_2$.
