Tuning the magnetic ground state of by Yb valence fluctuations
Abstract
We characterize the properties of Ce1–x Ybx RhIn5 single crystals with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 using measurements of powder x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and neutron diffraction. Here, the Yb valence v Yb , calculated from the magnetic susceptibility and measured using XANES, decreases from 3+ at x = 0 to ~2.1+ at xact = 0.2 , where xact is the measured Yb concentration. A transition from incommensurate to commensurate antiferromagnetism is observed in neutron diffraction measurements along Q = (0.5, 0.5, l) between 0.2 ≤ x act ≤ 0.27; this narrative is supported by specific-heat measurements in which a second robust feature appears at a temperature TI (TI < TN) for the same concentration range. Magnetic susceptibility measurements also reveal features which provide additional evidence of magneticordering. The results of this study suggest that the evolution of the Yb valence plays a critical role in tuning the magnetic ground state of Ce1–x Ybx RhIn5.
