Suppression of ferromagnetism inCeSi1.81under temperature and pressure

Abstract: We have studied the pressure dependence of the magnetization of single crystalline CeSi1.81. At ambient pressure ferromagnetism develops below TC = 9.5 K. Below ∼ 5 K an additional shoulder in low-field hysteresis loops and a metamagnetic crossover around 4 T suggest the appearance of an additional magnetic modulation to the ferromagnetic state. The suppression of the magnetic order in CeSi1.81 as function of temperature at ambient pressure and as function of pressure at low temperature are in remarkable quali… Show more

“…2,26,27,34 However, disorder undoubtedly plays a role in determining the ground state behavior in this system and likely perturbs the predicted behaviors, as is also seen for URh 1−x Ru x Ge and CeSi 1.81 . [35][36][37] We additionally speculate that the slight saturation in C/T for x = 0.22 occurs either due to disorder or being slightly away from the ideal x cr .…”

“…It crystallizes in the α-ThSi 2 structure with a broad homogeneity range, 1.7 ≤ x ≤ 2 (Ruggiero and Olcese, 1964;. It shows a paramagnetic ground state for x ≥ 1.85, while a magnetically ordered state was found for x ≤ 1.8 with a transition temperature around 10 K. The nature of the magnetic order is not clear (Drotziger et al, 2006). Susceptibility measurements suggest that the magnetic structure depends on the Si vacancy distribution (Shaheen and Mendoza, 1999), and magnetization measurements indicate that the ground state may not be pure FM, but rather a ferrimagnet or canted ferromagnet resulting from the RKKY interaction between the Ce 4f local moments on two different lattice sites (Drotziger et al, 2006).…”

Drotziger et al (2006) studied the magnetization of a single crystal of CeSi 1.81 as a function of temperature and hydrostatic pressure. Pressure was found to suppress T C monotonically from its ambient-pressure value of 9.5 K. T C vanishes at a critical pressure p c ≈ 13.1 kbar, with a concomitant continuous suppression of the magnetic moment from 0.2 µ B /Ce to zero.…”

“…Although the heavy-fermion systems are more often regarded as antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetism in these materials is not so rare. Interestingly, most of the examples contain cerium as the source of magnetism [3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. A special consideration is required for CeRuPO, whose isostructural sister CeOsPO is antiferromagnetic [7].…”
