Antiferromagnetic Structure of Dysprosium Aluminum Garnet
Abstract
The low-temperature antiferromagnetic structure of Dy3Al5O12(DAG) has been established by means of neutron diffraction. The spin arrangement consists of six interpenetrating substructures directed along +/-X, +/-Y, +/-Z, as predicted by Wolf and co-workers. The observed value of the Dy+3 moment is 9.0+/-0.5 μB, in agreement with the g value obtained from esr measurements.
