Magnetic properties of the rare-earth transition metal antimonides LnVSb3 and LnCrSb3 (Ln  LaNd, Sm)

Suppression of ferromagnetism in the La(VxCr1−x)Sb3system

“…Therefore, the suppression of ferromagnetism by substitution may offer an opportunity to approach a QCP, or may result a glassy state, and in doing so, sheds light onto the nature of the ordering mechanism of a specific ferromagnetic system. LaCrSb 3 has been reported to order ferromagnetically below T C ∼ 125 -142 K, with the differences arising from the sample preparation methods [14][15][16][17][18]. LaCrSb 3 crystallizes in an orthorhombic structure (space group P bcm), where Cr occupies one single crystallographic site 4c [19].…”

Crystal growth, characterization and physical properties of PrNiSb3, NdNiSb3 and SmNiSb3

“…The LnVSb 3 (Ln=La-Nd, Sm) phases show no magnetic ordering for the transition metal and therefore no 3d moment is present [8]. However, the Cr analog shows two magnetic transitions-one for the ordering of Cr at high temperatures (T Cr $132 K) [6,9,10] and a second for the coupled Ln-Cr ordering found at low temperatures (T Ln-Cr $10 K) [6,[8][9][10][11][12][13]. NdCrSb 3 shows negative magnetoresistance up to À13% at 5 K with an applied field of 4 T [13].…”

Phase diagram of CeVSb3under pressure and its dependence on pressure conditions

“…It may be considered a moderately heavy fermion system as its γ value is found to be 162 mJ/mol K 2 below 2 K 1 . Only a few studies involving this compound have been reported 1,2,6 . Similar ferromagnetic, Ce-based compounds, such as CeNiSb 3 or CeAgSb 2 were studied under pressure by resistivity measurements [7][8][9] and they revealed complex phase diagrams with ferromagnetic transitions evolving into antiferromagnetic ones under pressure.…”
