AI总结:

本研究通过单晶中子衍射确定了La2Ni7三个磁有序相的传播矢量和磁矩方向,揭示了其随温度变化的非公度到公度相变,并验证了早期DFT计算的提议。

摘要:

La2Ni7是一种金属间化合物,被认为具有巡游磁性,并在65 K以下出现小磁矩有序。Ribeiro等人[Phys. Rev. B 105, 014412 (2022)]近期对单晶样品的研究确定了详细的各向异性H-T相图,并揭示了在T1 ~ 61.0 K、T2 ~ 56.5 K和T3 ~ 42 K处存在三个零场磁相变。在该研究中,仅最高温相显示出明显的铁磁分量。在此,我们提出一项单晶中子衍射研究,确定了三个磁有序相(两个非公度和一个公度)的传播矢量和磁矩方向随温度的变化。较高温相具有相似的非公度传播矢量,但有序磁矩方向不同。在较低温度下,磁有序变为公度,磁矩沿c方向,这是一阶磁相变的一部分。我们发现低温公度磁序与早期DFT计算的提议一致。

英文摘要:

La2Ni7 is an intermetallic compound that is thought to have itinerant magnetism with a small moment ordering below 65 K. A recent study of single crystal samples by Ribeiro et. al. [Phys. Rev. B 105, 014412 (2022)] determined detailed anisotropic H-T phase diagrams and revealed three zero-field magnetic phase transitions at T1 ~ 61.0 K, T2 ~ 56.5K, and T3 ~ 42 K. In that study only the highest temperature phase is shown to have a clear ferromagnetic component. Here we present a single crystal neutron diffraction study determining the propagation vector and magnetic moment direction of the three magnetically ordered phases, two incommensurate and one commensurate, as a function of temperature. The higher temperature phases have similar, incommensurate propagation vectors, but with different ordered moment directions. At lower temperatures the magnetic order becomes commensurate with magnetic moments along the c direction as part of a first-order magnetic phase transition. We find that the low-temperature commensurate magnetic order is consistent with a proposal from earlier DFT calculations.
