Magnetostructural transition in Ce(Fe0.975Ga0.025)2 compound

Abstract

The magnetic and magnetostructural properties of the polycrystalline Ce(Fe0.975Ga0.025)2 have been investigated as a function of temperature and magnetic field. In Ce(Fe0.975Ga0.025)2 the magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic state (FM) is accompanied by a structural transformation from rhombohedral to cubic structure. Phase coexistence is present during both the temperature and field driven transformations from the AFM to FM phase.
