Magnetic-ordering propagation vectors of terbium hexaboride revisited

Iwasa, Kazuaki*; Iga, Fumitoshi*; Moyoshi, Taketo*; Nakao, Akiko*; Ohara, Takashi   

The magnetic-ordered state of a single-crystal sample of TbB$$_{6}$$ has been studied with the high-precision neutron diffraction instrument SENJU installed at BL18 of the Materials and Life Science Facility in J-PARC. We observed new Bragg-reflection spots characterized by a propagation vector $$q_{rm M2}$$ = (1/4, 1/4, 0) below the N$'e$el temperature $$T_{rm N}$$ $$approx$$ 20 K, in addition to the $$q_{rm M1}$$ = (1/4, 1/4. 1/2) reported in the previous literatures. Because X-ray Thomson scattering measurements do not detect the $$q_{rm M2}$$ superlattice reflections at 13 K, $$q_{rm M2}$$ is a new magnetic-ordering propagation vector. The magnetic multi-q structure of TbB$$_{6}$$ is similar to that of CeB$$_{6}$$, whereas the ratio of the $$q_{rm M2}$$ amplitude to that of qM1 is smaller than in CeB$$_{6}$$. The combination of $$q_{rm M1}$$ and $$q_{rm M2}$$ is expected to assist the $$q_{rm L1}$$ = (1/2, 0, 0) lattice modulation.
