We have studied the magnetization of CeOs2Al10 in high magnetic fields up to
55 T for H // a and constructed the magnetic phase diagram for H // a. The
magnetization curve shows a concave H dependence below T_max \sim40 K which is
higher than the transition temperature T_0 \sim29 K. The magnetic
susceptibility along the a-axis shows a smooth and continuous decrease down to
\sim20 K below T_max \sim40 K without showing an anomaly at T_0. From these two
results, a Kondo singlet is formed below T_max and coexists with the antiferro
magnetic order below T_0. We also propose that the larger suppression of the
spin degrees of freedom along the a-axis than along the c-axis below T_max is
associated with the origin of the antiferro magnetic component.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. B, Rapid Commu
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
