摘要:

本文报道了最近发现的Ce $_{3}$ Cd $_{2}$ As $_{6}$的磁性和电子性质。在常压下,Ce $_{3}$ Cd $_{2}$ As $_{6}$呈现半导体性质,激活能隙为74(1)~meV.在136 K时,电阻率的突然增加和比热的峰值与电荷密度波转变相一致。在低温下,$^{3+}$离子的反铁磁有序发生在低于$T_{\rm N} = 4.0$ ~K的位置,其硬磁轴沿$c$ -轴,并具有$Γ_{6} = |\pm1/2\rangle$双重基态.外压的施加强烈地抑制了电荷密度波序,在0.8(1)~GPa以上完全被抑制,并诱导出金属基态。在2~K以上没有发现超导性的证据。相反,反铁磁态受压力的影响,在3.8(1)GPa下达到5.3 K的转变温度。值得注意的是,电阻率异常特征的反铁磁序的变化与压力的增加,表明两个不同的磁相可能存在于Ce $_{3}$ Cd $_{2}$作为$_{6}$压力下。这种顺序变化似乎与$T_{\rm CDW}$和$T_{\rm N}$线交叉有关。

英文摘要:

Here we report the magnetic and electronic properties of recently discovered Ce$_{3}$Cd$_{2}$As$_{6}$. At ambient pressure, Ce$_{3}$Cd$_{2}$As$_{6}$ presents a semiconducting behavior with an activation gap of 74(1)~meV. At 136~K, a sudden increase of the electrical resistivity and a peak in specific heat are consistent with a charge density wave transition. At low temperatures, antiferromagnetic order of the Ce$^{3+}$ ions occurs below $T_{\rm N} = 4.0$~K with a magnetic hard axis along the $c$-axis and a $Γ_{6} = |\pm1/2\rangle$ doublet ground state. The application of external pressure strongly suppresses the charge density wave order, which is completely suppressed above 0.8(1)~GPa, and induces a metallic ground state. No evidence for superconductivity is detected above 2~K. Conversely, the antiferromagnetic state is favored by pressure, reaching a transition temperature of 5.3~K at 3.8(1)~GPa. Notably, the resistivity anomaly characterizing the antiferromagnetic order changes with increasing pressure, indicating that two different magnetic phases might be present in Ce$_{3}$Cd$_{2}$As$_{6}$ under pressure. This change in ordering appears to be associated to the crossing of the $T_{\rm CDW}$ and $T_{\rm N}$ lines.
