Title: NMR studies of the incommensurate helical antiferromagnet ${EuCo}_{2} P_{2}$ : Determination of antiferromagnetic propagation vector

Abstract

Recently, Q.-P. Ding et al. reported that their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on EuCo₂As₂ successfully characterized the antiferromagnetic (AFM) propagation vector of the incommensurate helix AFM state, showing that NMR is a unique tool for determination of the spin structures in incommensurate helical AFMs. Motivated by this work, we have carried out ¹⁵³Eu, ³¹P, and ⁵⁹Co NMR measurements on the helical antiferromagnet EuCo₂P₂ with an AFM ordering temperature T_N = 66.5 K. An incommensurate helical AFM structure was clearly confirmed by ¹⁵³Eu and ³¹P NMR spectra on single-crystalline EuCo₂P₂ in zero magnetic field at 1.6 K and its external magnetic field dependence. Furthermore, based on ⁵⁹Co NMR data in both the paramagnetic and incommensurate AFM states, we have determined the model-independent value of the AFM propagation vector k = (0,0,0.73±0.09)2π/c, where c is the c-axis lattice parameter. As a result, the temperature dependence of k is also discussed.

NMR determination of an incommensurate helical antiferromagnetic structure in ${EuCo}_{2} {As}_{2}$

Journal Article Ding, Q. -P. ; Higa, N. ; Sangeetha, N. S. ; ... - Physical Review B

In this paper, we report ¹⁵³Eu, ⁷⁵As, and ⁵⁹Co nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) results on EuCo₂As₂ single crystal. Observations of ¹⁵³Eu and ⁷⁵As NMR spectra in zero magnetic field at 4.3 K below an antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering temperature T_N = 45 K and its external magnetic field dependence clearly evidence an incommensurate helical AFM structure in EuCo₂As₂. Furthermore, based on ⁵⁹Co NMR data in both the paramagnetic and the incommensurate AFM states, we have determined the model-independent value of the AFM propagation vector k = (0,0,0.73 ± 0.07)2π/c, where c is the c lattice parameter. Finally, the incommensurate helical AFMmore »« less

NMR studies of the helical antiferromagnetic compound EuCo₂P₂

Journal Article Higa, N. ; Ding, Q. -P. ; Johnston, D. C. ; ... - Physica. B, Condensed Matter

In EuCo₂P₂, 4f electron spins of Eu²⁺ ions order antiferromagnetically below a Neel temperature T_N = 66.5K. The magnetic structure below T_N was reported to be helical with the helix axis along the c-axis from the neutron diffraction study. We report the results of ¹⁵³Eu, ⁵⁹Co and ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements on EuCo₂P₂ using a single crystal and a powdered sample. In the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state, we succeeded in observing ¹⁵³Eu, ⁵⁹Co and ³¹P NMR spectra in zero magnetic field. The sharp ¹⁵³Eu zero field NMR (ZF NMR) lines indicate homogeneous Eu ordered moment. The ⁵⁹Co and ³¹Pmore »« less

Magnetic properties of the itinerant A- type antiferromagnet ${CaCo}_{2} P_{2}$ studied by ${}^{59}{Co}$ and ${}^{31}P$ nuclear magnetic resonance

Journal Article Higa, N. ; Ding, Q. -P. ; Teruya, A. ; ... - Physical Review B

⁵⁹Co and ³¹P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in external magnetic and zero magnetic fields have been performed to investigate the magnetic properties of the A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) CaCo₂P₂. NMR data, especially the nuclear spin lattice relaxation rates 1/T₁ exhibiting a clear peak, provide clear evidence for the AFM transition at a Néel temperature of T_N ~ 110 K. The magnetic fluctuations in the paramagnetic state were found to be three-dimensional ferromagnetic, suggesting ferromagnetic interaction between Co spins in the ab plane characterizes the spin correlations in the paramagnetic state. In the AFM state below TN, we have observed ⁵⁹Comore »« less

EuCo₂P₂: A Model Molecular-Field Helical Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

Journal Article Sangeetha, N. S. ; Cuervo-Reyes, Eduardo ; Pandey, Abhishek ; ... - Physical Review B

The metallic compound EuCo₂P₂ with the body-centered tetragonal ThCr₂Si₂ structure containing Eu spins-7/2 was previously shown from single-crystal neutron diffraction measurements to exhibit a helical antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure below T_N=66.5 K with the helix axis along the c axis and with the ordered moments aligned within the ab plane. Here we report crystallography, electrical resistivity, heat capacity, magnetization, and magnetic susceptibility measurements on single crystals of this compound. We demonstrate that EuCo₂P₂ is a model molecular-field helical Heisenberg antiferromagnet from comparisons of the anisotropic magnetic susceptibility χ, high-field magnetization, and magnetic heat capacity of EuCo₂P₂ single crystals at temperature T≤TNmore »« less
