Heat capacity, resistivity, and angular dependent magnetization studies of single crystal for
Abstract
Advances in crystal growth have allowed for synthesis of large single crystals of Nd1+ϵFe4B4, a well-known phase with a modulated structure. As a result we are able to report heat capacity and resistivity measurements on a single crystal Nd1+ϵFe4B4 sample with a distribution of ϵ that skews towards the solubility limit of Nd near ϵ ≈ 17. Heat capacity measurements show evidence of crystal field splitting at temperatures higher than the long-range ferromagnetic Curie temperature. Heat capacity, resistivity, and magnetization measurements all confirm a Curie temperature of 7 K which is lower than previously reported values in the Nd1+ϵFe4B4 system. Here, we also perform measurements of the angular dependence of the magnetization and discover behavior associated with the magnetic anisotropy that is inconsistent with the simple description previously proposed.
