Development of Magnetic Order in Superconducting Systems

Conference · · Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials
Two different classes of rare-earth (RE) ternary superconductors (RERh4B4 and REMo6S8, X=S, Se) have provided the first instances in which chemically ordered sublattices of magnetic ions exist in superconductors. Neutron scattering studies show that simple, conventional antiferromagnetism coexists with superconductivity in a number of systems, while destruction of superconductivity occurs with the onset of ferromagnetism. The magnetic structural details are summarized for the coexistent antiferromagnets, and review measurements on the superconducting → ferromagnetic transition in ErRh4B4.
