Abstract: | For the determination of the magnetic structure, elimination of the magnetic domains is indispensable and the appropriate stress will be effective when the crystal has a structural transformation at TN. The effect of uniaxial stress cooling on the neutron magnetic scattering in a ZnCr2O4 single crystal was studied. The pressure axis was set parallel to the [1 0 0] or [0 0 1], parallel or perpendicular to the diffraction plane, (0 0 1). The [1 0 0] pressure cooling increases one half-integer spots along the [1 0 0], whereas decreases others. The [0 0 1] pressure cooling increases two half-integer spots in the (0 0 1) plane, whereas decreases one half-integer spots. |
