Resolving the local distortions of Ising-like moments in magnetoelectric Ho-doped langasite

A. Yu. Tikhanovskii, V. Yu. Ivanov, A. M. Kuzmenko +9

The magnetic properties of Ho-doped langasites (La:Ho)${}_3$Ga${}_5$SiO${}_{14}$ are dominated by the Ising-like magnetic moments of the Ho${}^{3+}$ ions. In their saturated regime, the in…
