Weak ferromagnetism inTbNi2B2C

Abstract: The magnetic order of TbNi 2 B 2 C below T N ϭ15 K has been studied via 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy and muon spin relaxation ͑SR͒. It is shown that only below 8 K all components of the Tb moment are locked. This is traced from an unusual increase and a turning of the transferred magnetic hyperfine field at the 57 Fe dopants, and also from a decrease of the fluctuation rate of electronic moments detected from SR. We relate this locking of the moment to the ferromagnetically ordered component which was conclude… Show more

“…In fact, the magnetic hyperfine field at the Ni site, which could act as the pair-breaking field at Ni site, was observed in the Mössbauer spectroscopy. 10 The study of pseudoquaternary compound, Er 1Ϫx Tb x Ni 2 B 2 C was reported. It was conjectured that the weak-ferromagnetic component does not directly affect the superconductivity.…”

“…Furthermore, 57 Fe Mössbauer and SR experiments have indicated the onset of weak ferromagnetism through a reduction in the hyperfine field and the electronic spin fluctuation rate below T WFM . 19 In this paper, we report on recent x-ray magnetic circular dichroism ͑XMCD͒ experiments on TbNi 2 B 2 C designed to directly probe the onset of a ferromagnetic component below T WFM associated with the Tb ions. An XMCD experiment probes the difference, c ϭ( ϩ Ϫ Ϫ )/( ϩ ϩ Ϫ ), in the absorption of x rays by a sample with the magnetic moment parallel ( ϩ ) and antiparallel ( Ϫ ) to the helicity of the incident photon beam.…”
