Anisotropic magnetism and Kondo-lattice behavior in the frustrated antiferromagnet Ce3MgBi5
Karolina Gornicka, Brenden R. Ortiz, Matthew S. Cook +3
We report the synthesis and physical characterization of single-crystalline Ce3MgBi5, a previously unexplored member of the Ce3MPn5 family. This compound crystallizes in the hexago…
Ising spin ladders of orthopyroxene CoGeO
Pavel A. Maksimov, Andrey F. Gubkin, Alexey V. Ushakov +6
We present thermodynamic and spectroscopic measurements for an orthopyroxene CoGeO with magnetic Co ions that form quasi-one-dimensional ladders. We show that non-collin…
Enhanced Neel temperature and unusual thermal expansion in flux-grown FeCrAs crystals
Michael A. McGuire, Matthew S. Cook, Brenden R. Ortiz +2
We report results from our experimental investigation of the distorted-kagome compound FeCrAs. For this work, we developed a procedure using tin metal as a flux to produce needleli…
Isolated spin ladders in LnTiSb (Ln:La-Nd) metals
Brenden R. Ortiz, Heda Zhang, Karolina Gornicka +4
Here we present the discovery and characterization of a series of antimonides LnTiSb (Ln: La--Nd) which exhibit well-isolated, rare-earth spin ladders. We disc…
