Magnetoelastic properties in the high-temperature magnetic phase of the skyrmion compound GdRuSi
J. Sourd, D. A. Mayoh, G. Balakrishnan +3
We investigated the magnetoelastic properties of a GdRuSi single crystal under a magnetic field applied along the crystallographic [001] and [110] directions. We report a s…
Magnetic anisotropy and dipolar interactions in the frustrated triangular-lattice magnet NaGdS_2
J. Grumbach, E. HäuÃler, S. Luther +12
In this comprehensive study, we present results of bulk measurements (magnetization, specific heat, ac susceptibility, thermal expansion, and magnetostriction) combined with local…
Contrasting magnetic behavior in MnSc_2X_4 (X = S, Se) spinel compounds investigated by magnetoelastic studies
J. Grumbach, J. Sourd, M. Deeb +12
The spinel compounds MnSc_2X_4 are highly frustrated and candidate materials for vortex-like 3q magnetic states, such as skyrmions, with propagation vectors in the [111] plane. Bec…
Large out-of-equilibrium magnetocaloric effect in rare-earth zirconate pyrochlores
O. Benton, Y. Skourski, D. Gorbunov +7
We explore the magnetic properties of NdZrO and PrZrO single crystals subjected to pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T using magnetization and magnetocaloric-…
Spontaneous lattice distortion and crystal field effects in HoB4
S. Goswami, D. I. Gorbunov, D. Kriegner +9
The tetraboride HoB4 crystallizes in a tetragonal structure (space group P4/mbm), with the Ho atoms realizing a Shastry-Sutherland lattice. It orders antiferromagnetically at TN1 =…
Spin-strain interactions under hydrostatic pressure in -RuCl
A. Hauspurg, Susmita Singh, T. Yanagisawa +5
We investigate the effects of hydrostatic pressure on -RuCl, a prototypical material for the Kitaev spin model on a honeycomb lattice with a possible spin-liquid ground sta…
