La0.4Ce0.6Co2P2 represents a borderline case in the range of solid solutions formed in the pseudo-binary system LaCo2P2-CeCo2P2. The material undergoes ferromagnetic ordering at ~225 K followed by a structural collapse at ~190 K, which leads to a strong suppression of magnetization. The structural phase transition manifests itself in a gradual decrease in the parameter c and a relatively smaller in-crease of the parameter a of the tetragonal lattice. Interestingly, a combination of magnetic meas-urements and non-polarized and polarized neutron scattering experiments suggest that the structural collapse does not lead to an antiferromagnetically ordered state, observed in samples with the higher Ce content. On the contrary, La0.4Ce0.6Co2P2 appears to enter a disordered, spin-glass state, with grad-ual dissipation of the ferromagnetic ordering taking place simultaneously with the structural collapse, as evidenced by temperature-dependent measurements of depolarization factor for a polarized neu-tron beam passed through the sample. The observed behavior is analogous to that reported for so-called reentrant spin glasses. In the present case, however, the appearance of the reentrant spin-glass regime is caused not by tuning the system by compositional variation but by the structural phase tran-sition. Electronic structure calculations confirm that the loss of magnetic ordering is caused by the sub-tle change to the density of states at the Fermi level due to the variation of the crystal structure of the material.

La0.4Ce0.6Co2P2中结构相变诱导的重入自旋玻璃态

La0.4Ce0.6Co2P2代表在伪二元系统LaCo2P2-CeCo2P2中形成的固溶体范围内的临界情况。该材料在〜225 K时经历铁磁有序化,然后在〜190 K时发生结构崩溃,从而导致强烈抑制磁化强度。结构相变本身表现为参数c的逐渐减小和四边形晶格的参数a的相对较小的增加。有趣的是,在具有较高Ce含量的样品中观察到,磁测量以及非极化和极化中子散射实验的结合表明,结构塌陷不会导致反铁磁有序状态。相反,La0.4Ce0.6Co2P2似乎进入了无序的自旋玻璃状态,铁磁有序的逐渐耗散与结构崩溃同时发生,这是通过温度的,对穿过样品的极化中子束的去极化因子的测量结果所证明的。观察到的行为类似于报道的所谓的折返旋转玻璃的行为。然而,在当前情况下,折返自旋玻璃态的出现不是由于通过成分变化来调节系统,而是由于结构相变而引起的。电子结构计算证实,由于材料晶体结构的变化,费米能级的状态密度发生了细微的变化,从而导致了磁有序性的丧失。如通过样品的极化中子束的去极化因子的温度相关测量所证明的那样。所观察到的行为类似于报道的所谓的折返旋转玻璃的行为。然而,在当前情况下,折返自旋玻璃态的出现不是由于通过成分变化来调节系统,而是由于结构相变而引起的。电子结构计算证实,由于材料晶体结构的变化,费米能级的状态密度发生了细微的变化,从而导致了磁有序性的丧失。如通过样品的极化中子束的去极化因子的温度相关测量所证明的那样。观察到的行为类似于报道的所谓的折返旋转玻璃的行为。然而,在当前情况下,折返自旋玻璃态的出现不是由于通过成分变化来调节系统,而是由于结构相变而引起的。电子结构计算证实,由于材料晶体结构的变化,费米能级的状态密度发生了细微的变化,从而导致了磁有序性的丧失。可重入自旋玻璃态的出现不是由通过组成变化来调节系统而是由结构相转变引起的。电子结构计算证实,由于材料晶体结构的变化,费米能级的状态密度发生了细微的变化,从而导致了磁有序性的丧失。可重入自旋玻璃态的出现不是由通过组成变化来调节系统而是由结构相转变引起的。电子结构计算证实,由于材料晶体结构的变化,费米能级的状态密度发生了细微的变化,从而导致了磁有序性的丧失。
