摘要:

通过在不同磁场下的直流磁化强度、交流磁化率和比热测量,研究了多铁性六方晶系HoMnO 3中的新型场致重入相的低温效应。两个新的阶段已明确确定低于尼尔转变温度,TN=76 K,磁场高达50千奥斯特。在P[6]_3[c]m和P[6]_3c[m]磁结构之间存在一个中间相,并研究了该中间相的磁性。在低温下(T<5 K),在5 kOe和18 kOe的磁场之间,发现了一个圆顶形的相界,其特征是磁化强度的跳跃和一个窄的热容峰。跨越这个相边界的过渡是一阶的,磁化强度和熵的跳跃服从克劳修斯-克拉珀龙关系的磁模拟。四个低温相共存于一个四临界点在2 K和18 kOe。如此得出的复杂的磁相图提供了一个信息的基础上解开的潜在驱动力的发生的各个阶段和不同的订单之间的耦合。

英文摘要:

The novel field-induced re-entrant phase in multiferroic hexagonal HoMnO3 is investigated to lower temperatures by dc magnetization, ac susceptibility, and specific heat measurements at various magnetic fields. Two new phases have been unambiguously identified below the Neel transition temperature, TN=76 K, for magnetic fields up to 50 kOe. The existence of an intermediate phase between the P[6]_3[c]m and P[6]_3c[m] magnetic structures (previously predicted from dielectric measurements) was confirmed and the magnetic properties of this phase have been investigated. At low temperatures (T<5 K) a dome shaped phase boundary characterized by a magnetization jump and a narrow heat capacity peak was detected between the magnetic fields of 5 kOe and 18 kOe. The transition across this phase boundary is of first order and the magnetization and entropy jumps obey the magnetic analogue of the Clausius-Clapeyron relation. Four of the five low-temperature phases coexist at a tetracritical point at 2 K and 18 kOe. The complex magnetic phase diagram so derived provides an informative basis for unraveling the underlying driving forces for the occurrence of the various phases and the coupling between the different orders.
