Field-induced magnetic ordering in ErNi1-xCuxAl

Résumé

The RNi1-xCuxAl pseudoternaries belong to group of RTX intermetallic compounds crystallizing in the hexagonal ZrNiAl type of structure. In the critical region of the substitution parameter x ~ 0.8 there was found a loss of a long-range magnetic order at the lowest studied temperatures for series with R = Tb, Dy, Er. As an explanation for this effect a competition of different ordering mechanisms for either RNiAl or RCuAl compounds was proposed. Nevertheless, the magnetization curves of the ErNi0.2Cu0.8Al compound (within the critical concentration region) showed behaviour close to the parent ErCuAl, which was confirmed as a ferromagnet. Neutron diffraction on ErNi0.2Cu0.8Al compound with applied magnetic field signifies appearing of the ferromagnetic order at the lowest applied magnetic field of 0.1 T. The magnitude of the ordered magnetic moment increases with increasing magnetic field in agreement with the magnetization curve, confirming tendency to ferromagnetic ordering or short-range magnetic order of ferromagnetic character in this critical region.
