Anomalous High Field Magnetization in Sc(Co_1-xAl_x)₂

METAMAGNETIC TRANSITION IN Hf (Fe1-xCox)2

“…Typical IEM is already observed in other Cebase Laves phase compounds M ( C~l -r A l z )~ (M = SC [5], Y [6,7] and Lu [7,8]) for finite A1 concentration. In these systems, however, the pure compounds MCo2 themselves are considered to show metarnagnetism since the EF is already very close to the peak of DOS.…”

Itinerant electron metamagnetism and spin fluctuations in nearly ferromagnetic metals Y(Co1-xAlx)2

“…We concluded from the concentration dependence of the transition that the observed metamagnetic transition is IEM inherent in YCo2 and roughly estimated the critical field B, of YCo2 to be about 100T. Similar but less sharp metamagnetic transitions were found in SC(CO,_,A~,)~ (Ishiyama and Endo 1987) and Lu(CO,-,A~,)~ (Sakakibara et a1 1987, Gabelko et a f 1987, Endo etaf 1988. In this paper, we have extended the measurement in Y(Col-,A1J2 up to about 100 T using a single-turn coil system in order to explore the transition for lower x.…”

Ferromagnetism of (ScCa)Co2 Laves phase compound synthesized under high pressure

“…[11]. It has been pointed out that the partial substitution of Al in YCo 2 leads to smoothing of the sharp peak of the DOS [12], fading the characteristics of band magnetism.…”
