説明:

In this study the microscopic magnetic correlations and crystal lattice distortions are investigated by neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, as well as AC susceptibility measurements. The results indicated that in contrast to the previous study, the cu- bic to rhombohedral structure change was not suppressed, though the way the unit cell expansion occurred did change. No significant changes were observed in the magnetic long range order and crystal lattice symmetry, which still formed a ferrimagnetic and rhombohedral crystal structure below the phase transition temperature (TC) for all substitutions as well as pure ErCo2. However, an increase in magnetic short range correlations above TC, which is strongly correlated with the entropy change and the dynamic AC susceptibility, was detected only in the substituted samples. Unlike pure ErCo2, the nucleation of the local ferrimagnetic clusters above TC occurs in the sub- stituted samples, which significantly reduces the energy barrier between the higher temperature cubic phase and the lower temperature rhombohedral phase. It is concluded that the reduction of the energy barrier due to the development of short range order induced by chemical substitution at temperatures above TC is possibly the origin of the significant change in the nature of the phase transition in ErCo2.
