Times Cited Count:16 Percentile:57.02(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We report the synthesis of three new Yb-based compounds, YbAgAl, YbPdCd and YbPdCd. The crystal symmetry of these compounds has been determined and the complete structural characterisation carried out by single crystal and powder diffraction techniques. The 4f levels of the Yb ions are appreciably hybridised in YbAgAl and to a lesser extent in YbPdCd as inferred from the magnetisation and heat capacity data. Signatures of heavy fermion behaviour are observed in the heat capacity data of YbPdCd in which the heat capacity, , increases at low temperatures attaining a value of 600 mJ/molK at 1.8 K. The electrical resistivity of YbPdCd follows a linear variation with temperature, , between 1.4 and 5K, thus indicating a possible non-Fermi liquid behaviour. In contrast, Yb ions are trivalent in YbPdCd and order magnetically near 1.4 K.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:32.04(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We succeeded in growing single crystals of ferromagnets NdRhB and GdRhB with the hexagonal structure, and measured the electrical resistivity, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and magnetization. From these measurements, the Curie temperature is determined as =10.2 K in NdRhB and TC=93 K in GdRhB. The magnetic moments of about 2.5 in NdRhB and 7.7 in GdRhB are oriented in the basal plane. The crystalline electric field scheme is proposed for NdRhB on the basis of the experimental results of Schottky anomaly in the specific heat and anisotropic susceptibility and magnetization. The Fermi surface in NdRhB is very similar to that in a non-4 f reference compound LaRhB, possessing the quasi-one dimensional electronic character.

Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:26.44(Physics, Condensed Matter)UB is a moderate heavy fermion compound which does not exhibit any magnetic order down to 0.3 K. In this work, the magnetic properties of UB are investigated in an extended temperature range, 2-800 K, on high-quality single crystals. A cross-over from a low temperature 5f itinerant behaviour to a high temperature 5f localized behaviour is observed, marked by broad peaks in the magnetic susceptibility measured along the main crystallographic axes.

Times Cited Count:39 Percentile:80.04(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the magnetic property of typical uranium compounds by measuring the magnetic susceptibility in an extended temperature range up to about 800 K. The magnetic susceptibility follows the Curie-Weiss law for a localized 5-electron compound UPd and a ferromagnetic insulator UFeP. In most of the investigated compounds we observed a crossover effect of the 5 electrons from a low-temperature itinerant nature to a high-temperature localized one. This is found to be characteristic for ferromagnetic superconductors such as UGe and UIr, and also for antiferromagnets like USb or UNiSb. To assess an extension of this characteristic property in the uranium compounds we also investigated typical 5-itinerant compounds like UGa and UPtGa. The crossover effect is essentially important in heavy fermion compounds such as UPt, UPdAl and URuSi. Even in the paramagnetic compound of UB, the magnetic susceptibility is not temperature-independent, but approaches a 5-localized tendency at high temperatures. Since the samples were single crystals, we were also able to trace the evolution of the magnetic anisotropy. The high-temperature anisotropic susceptibility data were analyzed on the basis of the crystalline electric field scheme.

Times Cited Count:26 Percentile:73.24(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We have succeeded in growing a high-quality single crystal of UCuSi with the tetragonal structure by the Sn-flux method and measured the electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization and specific heat. UCuSi is found to order antiferromagnetically below = 106 K, and follows a successive ferromagnetic ordering at = 100 K. The magnetic properties are highly anisotropic, reflecting the crystal structure. An easy-axis of magnetization is found to be the [001] direction (-axis) both in the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic phases, while the [100] direction (-axis) corresponds to the hard-axis in magnetization. The magnetization curve in the antiferromagnetic phase indicates a clear metamagnetic transition at a low field of about 1 kOe and changes smoothly into a ferromagnetic magnetization curve below = 100 K. The saturation moment is determined as 1.75/U at 2 K. The electronic specific heat coefficient is also determined as 20 mJ/Kmol.

Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:11.20(Physics, Condensed Matter)A new ternary uranium-based intermetallic compound UNiAl has been symthesized. It crystallizes in the unique flat orthorhombic structure. Uranium atoms occupy two crystallographic 4 and 8 sites where local chemical environments are quite similar. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility demonstrates peculiar magnetic anisotropy; along - and -axes obeys the Curie-Weiss law above 23 K, while along -axis is small and temperature independent. At 23 K, only shows a sharp cusp corresponding to the antiferromagnetic ordering, while remains paramagnetic behavior down to 2 K. These results and crystallographical considerations lead to a conclusion that only uranium atoms at the 8 site order antiferromagnetically at = 23 K, while uranium atoms at the site do not order down to 50 mK.

The ferromagnetic ordering at ,=,3.1 K, a small saturation moment of 1.3 /U, together with the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, are found to be well explained by considering the 5 crystalline electric field schemes for site symmetry and the magnetic exchange interaction.

The small saturation moment 0.5 as well as the large electronic specific heat coefficient suggest itinerant ferromagnetic characteristics of this compound. We have found that the paramagnetic effective moment approarches to the value expected for free uranium ion above room temperature. This result suggests that magnetic moments at high temperature behave like localized moments.
