High-field moment polarization in the ferromagnetic superconductor UCoGe

Abstract

We report magnetization and magnetoresistivity measurements on the isostructural ferromagnetic superconductors UCoGe and URhGe in magnetic fields up to 60 T and temperatures from 1.5 to 80 K. At low-temperature, a moment polarization in UCoGe in a field ${\mu }_0\mathbf{H}\parallel \mathbf{b}$ of around 50 T leads to well-defined anomalies in both magnetization and magnetoresistivity. These anomalies vanish in temperatures higher than 30-40 K, where maxima in the magnetic susceptibility and the field-induced variation of the magnetoresistivity are found. A comparison is made between UCoGe and URhGe, where a moment reorientation in a magnetic field ${\mu }_0\mathbf{H}\parallel \mathbf{b}$ of 12 T leads to field-induced reentrant superconductivity.
