Sharp magnetization step across the ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition in doped-CeFe2 alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Very sharp magnetization step is observed across the field induced antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in various doped-CeFe2 alloys, when the measurement is performed below 5K. In the higher temperature regime (T>5K) this transition is quite smooth in nature. Comparing with the recently observed similar behaviour in manganties showing colossal magnetoresistance and magnetocaloric material Gd5Ge4 we argue that such magnetization step is a generalized feature of a disorder influenced first order phase transition.

First order metamagnetic transition in CeFe2 based pseudobinary alloys
We present results of dc magnetisation study showing that the low temperature antiferromagnetic state in various CeFe2-based pseudobinary alloys can be transformed into ferromagnetic state through a magnetic field induced phase transition. We highlight the presence of hysteresis and phase coexistence across this metamagnetic transition and argue that the observed phase transition is of first or...
متن کاملMagnetic and transport properties of the pseudobinary systems Ce„Fe1ÀxCox...2 and „Ce1ÀyScy...Fe2
We studied the dilute substitution effect on magnetic and transport properties in an unstable ferromagnet CeFe2 with a C15 cubic Laves-phase structure. In the Co substitution system Ce(Fe12xCox)2 with x<0.10, while the Curie temperature TC decreases with increasing the Co concentration, an antiferromagnetic ordering appears in the low temperature region for x^0.05, and the transition temperatur...
متن کاملResistivity and thermoelectric power measurements on CeFe2 and its pseudobinaries
Resistivity and thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements on CeFe2 and two of its pseudo-binaries Ce(Fe, 5% Ir)2 and Ce(Fe, 7% Ru)2 between 78K and 275K are reported. The resistivity data are analysed in terms of contributions from scattering due to phonon, magnon, spin fluctuation and lattice defects, and also from interband scattering. Attempts are made to analyze the TEP data in terms of these...
متن کاملSkyrmions in a doped antiferromagnet.
Magnetization and magnetoresistance have been measured in insulating antiferromagnetic La2Cu0.97Li0.03O4 over a wide range of temperatures, magnetic fields, and field orientations. The magnetoresistance step associated with a weak ferromagnetic transition exhibits a striking nonmonotonic temperature dependence, consistent with the presence of Skyrmions.
متن کاملEffects of disorder on ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors.
We present results of a numerical mean-field treatment of interacting spins and carriers in doped diluted magnetic semiconductors, which takes into account the positional disorder present in these alloy systems. Within our mean-field approximation, disorder enhances the ferromagnetic transition temperature for metallic densities not too far from the metal-insulator transition. Concurrently, the...
