Study of the first-order antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic transition in FeRh by positron annihilation method

Here, we study the temporal evolution of the magnetic field-driven paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in the La(Fe,Mn,Si) 13 material family. Three compositions are chosen that show varying strengths of the first-order character of the transition, as determined by the relative magnitude of their magnetic hysteresis and temperature separation between the zero-field transition temperature T c and the temperature T crit , where the transition becomes continuous. Systematic variations in the fixed field, isothermal rate of relaxation are observed as a function of temperature and as a function of the degree of first-order character. The relaxation rate is reduced in more weakly first-order compositions and is also reduced as the temperature is increased towards T crit . At temperatures above T crit , the metastability of the transition vanishes along with its associated temporal dynamics. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Taking the temperature of phase transitions in cool materials’.

Pressure Region

First-principles calculations on BiFeO3 under low-pressure region show that the rhombohedral-monoclinic and rhombohedral-orthorhombic phase transitions can be found around the critical pressure value, ~9 GPa.We suggest that the structure involve the combination of these three phases and change to the pure orthorhombic phase gradually as pressure is beyond the critical value. Moreover, it is a first-order structural phase transition, accompanied with antiferromagnetic–ferromagnetic transition.

(Sc,Ti)Fe2 Laves phases present a relatively unique case of first-order ferro-ferromagnetic transition originating from an instability of the Fe moment. In addition to large magnetoelastic effects making them potential negative thermal expansion materials, here, we show that Sc0.28Ti0.72Fe2 and related alloys also present sizable magnetocaloric and magnetoresistance effects. Both effects are found substantially larger at the ferro-ferromagnetic transition (Tt1) than near the Curie temperature TC, yet they remain limited in comparison to other classes of giant magnetocaloric materials. We suggest a strategy to improve these properties by bringing the transition at Tt1 close to TC, and test its possible realization by Co or Mn for Fe substitutions. The structural and magnetic phase diagrams of Sc0.28Ti0.72Fe2−xTx alloys with T = Mn or Co are explored. Substitutions for Fe by adjacent Mn or Co elements give rise to a breakdown of the long-range ferromagnetic order, as well as a swift disappearance of finite moment magnetism.

Quantum Spin Ice

The neutron diffraction and measurements of specific heat and magnetization were carried out on single crystals of a quantum spin ice system Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7. The thermal hysteresis loops of temperature dependence of the magnetization and neutron diffraction intensity indicate a first-order ferromagnetic transition, where the used single crystals are confirmed to have a sharp peak structure in the specific heat (C)–temperature (T) curve at T C ∼ 0.2 K. The magnetic structure analysis of neutron diffraction results revealed that the Yb 3+ moments have a ferromagnetic collinear structure along [001] directions with ordered moment value 1.1 ± 0.1 μB at 0.03 K. The mechanism of ferromagnetic transition of Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 will be discussed.

Two cases of anomalous phase transitions in Ce intermetallics are presented. In CeIn2 multiple signatures of a first order paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition at 22 K have been experimentally detected. We discuss possible mechanisms for such behaviour and the new studies in the La1-xCexIn2 series. In the he case of CeNi1-xCux the low temperature ferromagnetic long range order appears owing to a magnetic cluster percolation process, from a cluster glass state established above the ferromagnetic state.
