説明:
(abstract)We have investigated the magnetic orderings, crystal lattice distortion and spin dynamics in
magnetocaloric material HoB2, by using neutron diffraction, x-ray diffraction experiments and AC
susceptibility measurements. Although HoB2 exhibits the ferromagnetic phase transition at T1=15 K, the other phase transition at T2=11 K has not been elucidated so far. In the present high resolution powder neutron diffraction and single crystal x-ray diffraction experiments, we observed the crystal structure phase transition from hexagonal (P6/mmm) to monoclinic (C2/m) at T2. The structure change concomitantly occurs with change in the moment size and fixing the spin orientation angle of Ho3+ moments below T2. Analyzing the structure distortion mode coupled to spin direction, we found that the ferromagnetically ordered moments is in the hexagonal (x, -x, z)-plane. In the AC susceptibility measurements, we observed a large enhancement in the susceptibility along the ab-plane for T2 < T < T1, indicating that the ferromagnetic state in the intermediate temperature region is characterized by large spin fluctuations.
