Bulk magnetic properties of distorted square lattice compounds M'-LnTaO4 (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er)

Nicola D. Kelly, Ivan da Silva, Siân E. Dutton

We report bulk magnetic properties of the monoclinic lanthanide tantalates, M'-LnTaO4 (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er), where the magnetic Ln3+ ions are arranged on a distorted 2D square latt…
