High-field magnetization and magnetic phase diagrams in Nd2RhIn8 and Tb2RhIn8

Abstract

We present magnetic phase diagrams of Nd2RhIn8 and Tb2RhIn8 determined by magnetization and magnetoresistivity measurements on single crystals, including high-field magnetization up to 60 T. Both compounds order antiferromagnetically with the c-axis as the easy magnetization axis.

Their magnetic phase diagrams are qualitatively rather similar. At low temperatures up to 1=2T(N), when applying the field along the tetragonal c-axis, we observe first-order transition to another magnetic phase prior to transition to the ferromagnetic order.

The magnetic phase diagrams resemble those of other R2RhIn8 or RRhIn5 compounds. (C) 2014 Elsevier B. V.
