Magnetic phase transition and the corresponding magnetostriction of intermetallic compounds RMnsGe2（R=Sm,Gd）

The temperature dependence of lattice constants a and c of intermetallic compounds RMn₂Ge₂ (R=Sm, Gd) is measured in the temperature range 10－800K by using the x-ray diffraction method. The magnetoelastic anomalies of lattice constants are found at the different kinds of spontaneous magnetic transitions. The transversal and longitudinal magnetostrictions of polycrystalline samples are measured in the pulse magnetic field up to 25T. In the external magnetic field there occurs a first-order field-induced antiferromagnetism－ferromagnetism transition in the Mn sublattice, which gives rise to a large magnetostriction. The magnitude of magnetostrictions is as large as 10^-3. The transversal and longitudinal magnetostrictions have the same sign and are almost equal. This indicates that the magnetostriction is isotropic and mainly caused by the interlayer Mn－Mn exchange interaction. The experimental results are explained in the framework of a two-sublattice ferrimagnet with the negative exchange interaction in one of the sublattices by taking into account the lattice constant dependence of interlayer Mn－Mn exchange interaction.     

Magnetic Properties and magnetic phase diagrams of intermetallic compound GdMn2Ge2

A modified Yafet－Kittle model is applied to investigate the magnetic properties and magnetic phase transition of the intermetallic compound GdMn_2Ge_2. Theoretical analysis and calculation show that there are five possible magnetic structures in GdMn_2Ge_2. Variations of external magnetic field and temperature give rise to the first-order or second-order magnetic transitions from one phase to another. Based on this model, the magnetic curves of GdMn_2Ge_2 single crystals at different temperatures are calculated and a good agreement with experimental data has obtained. Based on the calculation, the H－T magnetic phase diagrams of GdMn_2Ge_2 are depicted. The Gd－Gd, Gd－Mn, intralayer Mn－Mn and interlayer Mn－Mn exchange coupling parameters are estimated. It is shown that, in order to describe the magnetic properties of GdMn_2Ge_2, the lattice constant and temperature dependence of interlayer Mn－Mn exchange interaction must be taken into account.     

Microwave magnetoresistance and electron spin resonance in Ge:Mn thin films and nanowires

Resonant and nonresonant absorption of microwave radiation is found to occur in germanium films implanted with manganese at concentrations of 2, 4, and 8 at %. Electron spin resonance is observed in two temperature ranges: (i) in the vicinity of the phase transition of Mn₅Ge₃ clusters to the ferromagnetic state at T = 295 K; and (ii) in the range of temperatures below 60 K, at which collective ordering of Mn spins in the crystal lattice and spin-wave resonance take place. The dependence of the nonresonant signal of the microwave magnetoresistance on the magnetic field exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior identical for the X and K microwave bands. An analysis of the field dependence of the microwave magnetoresistance makes it possible to separate two components of the derivative of the magnetoresistance: the quasi-linear Lorentzian component observed in strong fields and the negative exponential anisotropic component determined by spin-dependent scattering of charge carriers from magnetic impurities. The length of the phase relaxation of charge carriers is estimated to be 350 nm at T = 2 K and exceeds the thickness of the film (120 nm) and the sizes of clusters and precipitates (3–5 nm). In quasi-one-dimensional nanowires of the composition Ge:Mn at the same impurity concentrations, microwave magnetoresistance is absent. These facts suggest that conduction in thin films has a quasi-two-dimensional character and that the measured microwave magnetoresistance is associated with charge carriers in the crystal lattice rather than with impurity clusters.     

Colossal magnetodielectric effects in DyMn2O5

We have investigated the detailed magnetic field dependence of the electric polarization and dielectric constant in (Tb,Dy,Ho)Mn2O5 where magnetic and ferroelectric transitions are intimately coupled. Our fundamental discovery is the unprecedented large change of the dielectric constant with magnetic field, particularly in DyMn2O5, associated with an unusual commensurate-incommensurate magnetic transition. This extraordinary effect appears to originate from the high sensitivity of the incommensurate state to external perturbation.     

Field-induced ferromagnetic metallic state in the bilayer manganite (La0.4Pr0.6)1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7, probed by neutron scattering

The bilayer manganite La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 exhibits a phase transition from a paramagnetic insulating (PI) to a ferromagnetic metallic (FM) state with a colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) effect. Upon 60% Pr substitution, magnetic order and PI to FM transition are suppressed. Application of a moderate magnetic field restores an FM state with a CMR effect. Neutron scattering by a single crystal of (La0.4Pr0.6)1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7, under a magnetic field of 5 T, has revealed a long-range and homogeneous ferromagnetic order. In the PI phase, under zero field, correlated lattice polarons have been detected. At 28 K, under 5 T, the spin wave dispersion curve determines an in-plane isotropic spin wave stiffness constant of 146 meV A(2). So the magnetic field not only generates a homogeneous ferromagnetic ground state, but also restores a magnetic coupling characteristic of FM CMR manganites.     

Hyperfine Interactions in CeT2Ge2 (T = Mn,Co) Heavy Fermions Compounds Measured by TDPAC

Time Differential Perturbed γ–γ Angular Correlation (TDPAC) technique was used to measure the magnetic hyperfine field at both Ge and Ce sites in CeMn₂Ge₂ and CeCo₂Ge₂ intermetallic compounds. The ¹¹¹In (¹¹¹Cd) probe nuclei was used to investigate the hyperfine interaction at Ge sites, while the ¹⁴⁰La (¹⁴⁰Ce) nuclei was used to measure the magnetic hyperfine field at Ce site. The present measurements cover the temperature ranges from 10–460 K for CeMn₂Ge₂ and 9–295 K for CeCo₂Ge₂, respectively. The result for ¹¹¹Cd probe showed two distinct electric quadrupole frequencies above magnetic transition temperatures, in both compounds and a combined interaction in the magnetic region. The temperature dependence of the magnetic hyperfine field at ¹¹¹Cd at Mn site for the CeMn₂Ge₂ compound showed a transition from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase around 320 K and from antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase at 420 K. While a small magnetic field was measured on ¹¹¹Cd at Co site, no magnetic field on ¹⁴⁰Ce site was observed in CeCo₂Ge₂. This revised version was published online in September 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Magnetic properties of the HoMn2Ge2 intermetallic compound

The magnetic properties of a tetragonal intermetallic compound, namely, HoMn₂Ge₂, are investigated experimentally and theoretically. The experimental temperature dependences of the initial magnetic susceptibility and the lattice parameters are obtained in alternating and static magnetic fields. The magnetization curves are measured in strong magnetic fields up to 50 T. The parameters of the crystal field and Ho-Mn and Mn-Mn exchange interactions are determined, and the temperature dependence of the magnetic field of the phase transition from an antiferromagnetic phase to a ferromagnetic phase in a magnetic field aligned along the tetragonal axis is calculated.     

Complete elastic tensor through the first-order transformation in U2Rh3Si5

The complete elastic tensor of U(2)Rh(3)Si(5) has been determined over the temperature range of 5-300 K, including the dramatic first-order transition to an antiferromagnetic state at 25.5 K. Sharp upward steps in the elastic moduli as the temperature is decreased through the transition reveal the first-order nature of the phase change. In the antiferromagnetic state the temperature dependence of the elastic moduli scales with the square of the ordered moment on the uranium ion, demonstrating strong spin-lattice coupling. The temperature dependence of the moduli well above the transition indicates coupling of the ultrasonic waves to the crystal electric field levels of the uranium ion where the lowest state is a singlet. The elastic constant data suggest that the first-order phase change is magnetically driven by a bootstrap mechanism involving the ground state singlet and a magnetically active crystal electric field level.
