Magnetoresistance in a well-annealed sample ofUCu2Ge2

Abstract: Results are presented of magnetoresistance measurements in a well-annealed sample of UCu 2 Ge 2 . Between the as cast sample and the annealed sample, a significant difference in the low temperature behavior has been observed. A fairly large positive magnetoresistance is observed in the temperature regime below ϳ50 K in the annealed sample whereas earlier study on the as cast sample had shown a metamagnetic behavior at low temperatures. The measurements suggest the presence of antiferromagnetic interactions in … Show more

“…Figure 7 displays the MR curve measured at 150 K and the fitted curves based on Eq. Therefore, curve 1 reflects the ferromagnetic term that is characterized by the exponential decrease with H. On the other hand, curve 2 represents a paramagnetic contribution delineated as H 2 dependence [28] and subsequently expo- nential decrease with H due to alignment of spins by the applied field. Their derivative data dMR/dH are shown in the inset in order to assess the validity of the fitting parameters.…”

“…As a result, the electrical resistivity drops sharply accompanied by the transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state. In fact, a similar feature of decrease in MR is also observed in some other rare-earth transition metal compounds 31,32 due to the magnetic phase transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic state.…”

“…On the second hand, as usually the positive contribution is attributed to the ordinary Lorentz-type scattering and/or the presence in the compound also the antiferromagnetic type of interactions [10]. For example, a rapid decrease in the positive MR with increasing temperature was also observed for UCu 2 Ge 2 , where the system though remains ferromagnetic over the entire range below T C (=107 K) but at low temperatures shows a randomly canted ferromagnetic phase [12,13]. However, owing to the fact that this positive contribution of fairly large value (14.5% at 4.2 K) depends strongly on applied magnetic field, one must search for other mechanisms, which have not been determined at present.…”
