“…8,33 We have previously established the magnetic states that form in both Tb(HCO 2 ) 3 and TbOHCO 3 in the absence of applied magnetic fields. 9,35 Tb(HCO 2 ) 3 , which adopts R3m rhombohedral symmetry at all measured temperatures, 36 shows strong diffuse scattering indicative of short range order below 20 K, where its magnetocaloric effect begins to be significant. This short range order is formed of ferromagnetically coupled linear chains of Isinglike moments aligned along the c-axis, antiferromagnetically coupled in a triangular array within the ab plane.…”
