Times Cited Count:11 Percentile:56.28(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Effects of orbital degeneracy on magnetic susceptibility in paramagnetic phases are investigated within a mean-field theory. Under certain crystalline electric fields, the magnetic moment consists of two independent moments, e.g., spin and orbital moments. In such a case, the magnetic susceptibility is given by the sum of two different Curie-Weiss relations, leading to the deviation from the Curie-Weiss law. Such behavior may be observed in - and -electron systems with and ground states, respectively. As a potential application of our theory, we attempt to explain the difference in the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibilities of UO and NpO. Then, we find that the difference in the temperature dependence can be naturally explained by considering the effects of the octupole moments in NpO.

Times Cited Count:39 Percentile:79.98(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:3 Percentile:16.98(Physics, Condensed Matter)We have succeeded in growing a high-quality single crystal of UCuSi with the tetragonal structure by the Sn-flux method and measured the magnetic susceptibility and magnetization. UCuSi is confirmed 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), while the [100] direction (-axis) corresponds to the hard-axis in magnetization. The saturation moment is determined as 1.8/U.
