Relaxation mechanism of ultrasonic attenuation in Ho-rich Er/sub 1/minus//ital x//Ho/sub /ital x//Rh/sub 4/B/sub 4/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
Temperature-dependent ultrasonic attenuation measurements in the Ho-rich magnetic superconducting system Er/sub 1/minus//ital x//Ho/sub /ital x//Rh/sub 4/B/sub 4/ show broad maxima at temperatures around 10 K. A two-energy-level model is proposed and expressions are derived to elucidate the nature of these relaxation-attenuation maxima.
