Magnetic properties of RRh 2Ge 2 single crystals (R=Gd, Tb, Dy)
Abstract
The magnetic properties of the tetragonal RRh 2Ge 2 compounds (R=Gd, Tb, Dy) have been studied on single crystals. They exhibit a complex low-temperature behavior due to the interplay of exchange and crystal field interactions. In particular several successive phase transitions occur below the Néel temperature, and metamagnetic field-induced transitions are present at low temperature.
