High-magnetic-field thermal expansion and elastic properties ofCeRhIn5

Abstract: We report high magnetic field thermal-expansion and magnetostriction results on CeRhIn5 single crystals. Several transitions, both first and second order, are observed when the field is applied perpendicular to the crystallographic c-axis. The magnetic field dependence of the thermal-expansion coefficient above 15 K, where the magnetic correlations are negligible, can be explained supposing an almost pure | ± 5/2 ground state doublet, in apparent contradiction with neutron scattering experiments. Although the … Show more

“…In Figure 1, we present results of the magnetic susceptibility of CeRhIn 5 at various temperatures which demonstrate clear signals of dHvA oscillations. Besides the oscillations, a tiny jump around 2.5 T denoted by B M is detected at low temperatures, which corresponds to the first-order metamagnetic transition reported previously [23][24][25][26]. In addition, a step in the signal is observed around B c 50 T, which is consistent with the presence of an AF to PM phase transition.…”

“…Below 8 K, changes sign, and a peak appears at K, signaling the second-order phase transition from a paramagnetic to an antiferromagnetic phase. This result is in qualitative agreement with the peak at seen by capacitance dilatometry at zero pressure [ 25 , 26 ] and with the phase diagram shown in Figure 2 a where is K at GPa. The magnitude of the peak at , however, is two- to three-times smaller than the value obtained using a capacitance dilatometer at atmospheric pressure.…”

“…Secondly, the slope at 0.5 GPa ( Figure 2 a) is notably less than at lower pressures. By Ehrenfest’s relation for a second order phase transition, the weaker slope necessarily implies a smaller thermal expansion anomaly at , if the change in specific heat across the phase boundary is similar to that at atmospheric pressure, which it is [ 25 , 26 ]. Hence, the temperature dependence of is reliable although its absolute value may not be quantitative.…”

“…At high magnetic field near H c2 (0) a new superconducting phase was observed which may be the first example of a Fulde-Ferrel-Ovchinnikov-Larkin (FFLO) state in an inorganic superconductor [15,16,17]. However, this new state cannot be interpreted as a stack of spatially homogeneous superconducting and normal regions [18].The high magnetic field phase diagram of CeRhIn 5 at ambient pressure has been studied by specific heat [19], magnetization [20,21], and thermal expansion measurements [22]. For fields in the ab-plane, T N is slightly increasing with increasing field up to 3.9 K. The magnetization in the ab-plane shows a small step-like increase near H ⋆ m = 2 T at low temperatures, due to a tiny change in the magnetic structure presumably associated with a reorientation of the helix and/or a change from an incommensurate to a commensurate structure.…”
