Specific features of magnetoresistance during the antiferromagnet—paramagnet transition in Tm1 − x Yb x B12

The transverse magnetoresistance Δρ/ρ(H, T) of Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ single crystals is studied in the ytterbium concentration range corresponding to the antiferromagnet-paramagnet transition in a magnetic field up to 80 kOe at low temperatures. A magnetic H-T phase diagram is constructed for the antiferromagnetic state of substitutional Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ solid solutions with x ≤ 0.1. The contributions to the magnetoresistance in the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of the dodecaborides under study are separated. Along with negative quadratic magnetoresistance -Δρ/ρ ∝ H ₂, the magnetically ordered phase of these compounds is found to have component Δρ/ρ ∝ H that linearly changes in a magnetic field. The negative contribution to the magnetoresistance of Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ is analyzed in terms of the Yosida model for a local magnetic susceptibility.     

Separation of the contributions to the magnetization of Tm1 − x Yb x B12 solid solutions in steady and pulsed magnetic fields

The magnetization of substitutional Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ solid solutions is studied in the composition range 0 < x ≤ 0.81. The measurements are performed at low temperatures (1.9–300 K) in steady (up to 11 T) and pulsed (up to 50 T, pulse duration of 20–100 ms) magnetic fields. An analysis of the experimental data allowed the contributions to the magnetization of the paramagnetic phase of the Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ compounds to be separated. These contributions include a Pauli component, which corresponds to the response of the heavy-fermion manybody states that appears in the energy gap in the vicinity of the Fermi level (density of states (3?4) × 10²¹ cm^?3 meV^?1), and a contribution with saturation in high magnetic fields attributed to the localized magnetic moments ((0.8–3.7)μ_B per unit cell) of the nanoclusters formed by rare-earth ions with an antiferromagnetic interaction.     

Raman scattering in ZrB<Subscript>12</Subscript> cage glass

High-precision measurements of the Hall effect and Raman scattering have been performed for single crystals of ZrB₁₂ superconductor in the wide temperature range of 5–300 K. For ZrB₁₂, the boson peak with ω_max ~ 100 cm^–1 has been observed for the first time within the low-frequency range of the Raman spectrum I(ω). The sizes of vibrational clusters with the correlation length ranging from 25 to 35 Å are estimated. The relation between the renormalization of the low-frequency density of vibrational states accompanying the transition to the cage-glass phase (T* ~ 90 K) and the enhancement of superconductivity in ZrB₁₂ is discussed.

Hall and transverse even effects in the vicinity of a quantum critical point in Tm1 ? x Yb x B12

The angular, temperature, and magnetic field dependences of the resistance recorded in the Hall effect geometry are studied for the rare-earth dodecaboride Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ solid solutions where the metal-insulator and antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transitions are observed in the vicinity of the quantum critical point x _c ?? 0.3. The measurements performed on high-quality single crystals in the temperature range 1.9?C300 K for the first time have revealed the appearance of the second harmonic contribution, a transverse even effect in these fcc compounds near the quantum critical point. This contribution a is found to increase drastically both under the Tm-to-ytterbium substitution in the range x > x _c and with an increase in the external magnetic field. Moreover, as the Yb concentration x increases, a negative peak of a significant amplitude appears on the temperature dependences of the Hall coefficient R _H(T) for the Tm^{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ compounds, in contrast to the invariable behavior R _H(T) ?? const found for TmB₁₂. The complicated activation-type behavior of the Hall coefficient is observed at intermediate temperatures for x ?? 0.5 with activation energies E _g /k _B ?? 200 K and E _a/k _B = 55?C75 K, and the sign inversion of R _H(T) is detected at liquid-helium temperatures in the coherent regime. Renormalization effects in the electron density of states induced by variation of the Yb concentration are analyzed. The anomalies of the charge transport in Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ solid solutions in various regimes (charge gap formation, intra-gap many-body resonance, and coherent regime) are discussed in detail and the results are interpreted in terms of the electron phase separation effects in combination with the formation of nanosize clusters of rare earth ions in the cage-glass state of the studied dodecaborides. The data obtained allow concluding that the emergence of Yb-Yb dimers in the Tm_{1 ? x} Yb _x B₁₂ cage-glass matrix is the origin of the metal-insulator transition observed in the achetypal strongly correlated electron system of YbB₁₂.
