μSR study of short-range magnetic order in the paramagnetic regime of ErCo2

Abstract: Zero-field muon spin relaxation spectroscopy (μSR) measurements in the paramagnetic phase of ErCo 2 ferrimagnetic system are reported. Previous experimental studies using macro-and microscopic techniques led to the identification of magnetic short-range correlations between the Co atoms in the paramagnetic state of this material. The analysis of μSR spectra recorded on ErCo 2 well above T c indicates two dynamical magnetic processes characterized by remarkably different relaxation rates: a slow-relaxing signal… Show more

“…The amount of softening increases and is accompanied by an increase in Q −1 below ∼80 K, signifiying freezing behavior of some aspect of the microstructure. This coincides exactly with the development of short range magnetic ordering on a length scale of ∼7 Å within which Co moments are, on average, oriented antiparallel to the Er moments in a parimagnetic arrangement .…”

“…This phenomenon is often referred to as Griffiths phase or Griffiths-like phase. 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,30,42 In general, the Griffiths phase behavior implies that elemental dilution or magnetic clusters with different size will decrease bulk ordering temperature T C from the onset (T G ) of the true paramagnetic state. Therefore, the magnetization fails to be analytical function of the field between T G and T C as the field approaches 0.…”
