Long-range magnetic order inCeRu2Al10studied via muon spin relaxation and neutron diffraction

Abstract: The low temperature state of CeRu2Al10 has been studied by neutron powder diffraction and muon spin relaxation (µ + SR). By combining both techniques, we prove that the transition occurring below T * ∼27K, which has been the subject of considerable debate, is unambiguously magnetic due to the ordering of the Ce sublattice. The magnetic structure with propagation vector k=(1,0,0) involves collinear antiferromagnetic alignment of the Ce moments along the c-axis of the Cmcm space group with a reduced moment of 0.… Show more

“…We insisted that the transition temperature T 0 ∼27 K is too high compared to an expected value of 0.2 K evaluated from the Néel temperature GdRu 2 Al 10 by the de Gennes' law, and the origin is not magnetic but electrical one. After that, a neutron diffraction experiment using polycrystalline powder sample revealed that the transition is attributed to an antiferromgnetic order, and the Ce moment along the c-axis with a moment of 0.3µ B /Ce at 2 K [4]. This was confirmed by our neutron diffraction study using a single crystal, though the value of ordered moment is somewhat larger value of 0.42 µ B /Ce [5].…”

“…12 Such magnetic structure is indeed realized in the zigzag chain structure of CeRu 2 Al 10 and related materials. 40 We also look at the staggered magnetic quadrupole order in the multilayer high-T c cuprate superconductors, where the antiferromagnetic moment with Q = (π, π) changes the sign between the layers. 41 As we discussed in this paper, the "antiferro" order of the local electric quadrupole in the unit cell induces the EO order, and it may be realized in Sr 3 Ru 2 O 7 .…”

“…The magnetic moments in CeT 2 Al 10 order along the c axis with the propagation vector q = (0, 1, 0). [12][13][14] In isostructural NdFe 2 Al 10 and SmRu 2 Al 10 , on the other hand, the magnetic structure is described by q = (0, 3/4, 0) and its third harmonic of (0, 1/4, 0), reflecting the squaring up. 15,16) The high-temperature phase of SmRu 2 Al 10 is an incommensurate phase with q = (0, 0.759, 0).…”
