We investigated the field dependences of magnetization M(H), the temperature dependences of magnetic susceptibility χ(T), and specific heat C(T) of orthorhombic ErFe2Al10 and ErRu2Al10 single crystals in a temperature range of 0.46–300 K. For ErFe2Al10, an antiferromagnetic phase transition was observed at the Néel temperature TN 1.7 K, and M(H) of the b-axis at 0.47 K indicated a metamagnetic transition at 0.07 T. The easy axis in M(H) and χ(T) curves is the b-axis and the hard axis is the c-axis. A large anisotropy was seen in M(H) and χ(T) curves in the three crystal axes. In the case of ErRu2Al10, magnetic successive phase transitions were observed at 1.3 and 1.0 K. Spin-flops were observed in M(H) curves at 0.25 T on the a- and b-axes in 0.46 K. The easy axis in M(H) curves is the a-axis and the hard axis is the c-axis. We proposed a magnetic structure from the result of χ(T) curves, whereby the magnetic moment of Er was perpendicular to the c-axis and closely aligned to the [110] direction below TN. The C(T) curve showed sharp peaks at corresponding temperatures. For both compounds, hump structures were observed in the temperature dependences of magnetic specific heat above TN. These structures were Schottky anomalies that came from excited doublets.

ErFe 2 Al 10和ErRu 2 Al 10单晶的磁性

我们研究了斜方晶ErFe 2 Al 10和ErRu 2 Al 10单晶在0.46–1的温度范围内的磁化强度MH),磁化率χT)和比热CT)的温度依赖性。 300K。对于ErFe 2 Al 10,在Néel温度T N 1.7 K和b的MH)处观察到反铁磁相变。轴在0.47 K处指示在0.07 T处有亚磁转变。MH)和χT)曲线中的易轴为b轴,硬轴为c轴。在三个晶轴的MH)和χT)曲线中观察到较大的各向异性。在ErRu 2 Al 10的情况下,在1.3和1.0 K处观察到磁性的连续相变。在0.46 K的ab轴上,在0.25 T的MH)曲线中观察到自旋翻转。在MH)曲线是a轴,硬轴是c轴。我们根据χT)曲线的结果提出了一种磁性结构,其中Er的磁矩垂直于c轴并与T N下方的[110]方向紧密对齐。所述ÇŤ)曲线显示尖锐峰在对应的温度。对于这两种化合物,均在高于T N的磁性比热的温度依赖性中观察到峰结构。这些结构是来自激发双峰的肖特基异常。
