Giant magnetic anisotropy in paramagnetic Tb₂(MoO₄)₃

Magnetic and transport properties of granular and Heusler-type glass-coated microwires

“…On the other hand Heusler-type magnetic shape-memory alloys (MSMAs) gained recently special importance owing to significant magnetic-field-induced strain (MFIS) originated from coupling between magnetic and structural orderings and number of functional properties: the MCE, the magnetic-field-induced martensitic transformation, considerable magnetoresistance and electric polarization [11][12][13]. From the point of view of technological applications, miniaturizing of MSMA-based devices based on MSMA particles, wires, films, multilayers, and pillars has a fundamental importance [12].…”

Magnetic and vibrational properties of Gd2(Mo0.9W0.1O4)3 and Gd1.8Er0.2(MoO4)3

“…The magnetic ordering on RE 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 compounds is expected to occur below 1 K [2], and despite the fact that thermal energy acts to avoid the magnetic saturation, this result indicates the presence of magnetic anisotropy since the samples were not crystallographically oriented to the applied magnetic field. This is a usual behavior of heavy rare-earth molybdates [2,7]. Another possibility is the occurrence of short-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions between rare-earth ions at low temperatures.…”

“…Recently, studies of magnetism for β-RE 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 where RE¼Gd Tb and Sm showed that their saturation magnetic moments depend on the direction of magnetic field [4][5][6], and in particular for RE ¼Tb it was observed as a giant magnetic anisotropy in the paramagnetic Tb 2 (MoO 4 ) 3 [7]. Furthermore, magnetoelectric switching effects were observed.…”
