| Abstract: | We systematically investigate the effect of pressure on the magnetic properties of GdCo_2B_2 on the basis of alternating current(AC) susceptibility,AC heat capacity and electrical resistivity measurements under pressures up to 2.2 GPa.A detailed magnetic phase diagram under pressure is determined.GdCo_2B_2 exhibits three anomalies that apparently reflect magnetic phase transitions,respectively,at temperatures T_C= 20.5 K,T_1= 18.0 K and T_N= 11.5 K under ambient pressure.Under pressures up to 2.2 GPa,these anomalies are observed to slightly increase at T_Cand T_1,and they coincide with each other above 1.6 GPa.Conversely,they decrease at T_N and disappear under pressures higher than 1.4 GPa.The results indicate that the low-temperature magnetic phases can be easily suppressed by pressure.Moreover,the spin-glass-like behavior of GdCo_2B_2 is examined in terms of magnetization,aging effect and frequency dependence of AC susceptibility.A separation between the zero-field-cooled(ZFC) and field-cooled(FC) magnetization curves becomes evident at a low magnetic field of 0.001 T.A long-time relaxation behavior is observed at 4 K.The freezing temperature Tfincreases with frequency increasing. |
