First-order Kondo-frustated antiferromagnetic ordering in the heavy electron compound YbAs

¹⁷⁰Yb Mössbauer measurements show that the heavy electron compound YbAs undergoes a first order paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition centered at T_N=0.58K. The saturated 4f-shell magnetic moments are reduced by 47% relative to the value predicted by a crystal field model. A study of the line shapes below T_N in the presence of an external field shows that the RKKY exchange energy is about 20 times bigger than k_B T_N. These results show that YbAs presents a magnetic order frustrated by the Kondo effect.supported by CNPq

The determination of the magnetic structure of DyCrO4 by neutron diffraction

At room temperature DyCrO₄ has the tetragonal zircon structure. Susceptibility measurements show that DyCrO₄ is ferromagnetic below 23 K. Neutron diffraction from a powder sample yield the magnetic structure. Using a computer program, which was developed for the determination of non-collinear and spiral structures, several models allowed by symmetry were compared with the experiment. It turns out that the Dy-moments and the Cr-moments as well order parallel in the a-b-plane. For the Dy-moment a value of 12μ_B and for the ratio of the Cr- to the Dy-moment a value of $\text{1}\text{10}$ was found.     

Magnetic properties of the cerium monochalcogenides

Single crystals of CeS, CeSe and CeTe have been investigated by means of measurements of the specific heat, the thermal expansion, the magnetic susceptibility and the magnetization at low temperatures. Crystal-field effects on some of these properties are used to derive the crystal-field splitting of the 4f electron ground state. It is found that chemical composition and crystal perfection strongly influence the magnetic properties of these compounds.

Synthesis of polysaccharides. Communication 15. Synthesis of β-(1 → 6)-D-galactan

Conclusions 1,2-0-(1-exo-Cyano)ethylidene-3,4-di-0-acety1-6-0-trityl- and 1,2-0-(1-exo-cyano)ethylidene-3,4-di-0-benzoyl-6-0-trityl--D-galactopyranoses were synthesized. Their polycondensation led to D-galactans, which do not contain -glycoside bonds.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya., No. 10, pp. 2358–2363, October, 1984.
