Magnetic transitions in single-crystal RAgCu_4
Abstract
We have grown single-crystals of the cubic RAgCu4 series, where R = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu. Thermodynamic and transport measurements show that several members of this series have multiple magnetic phase transitions in zero field and metamagnetic transitions in nonzero field. We will present details of the (H,T) phase diagrams for these materials. Ames Laboratory is operated for the U.S. Department of Energy by Iowa State University under Contract #W-7405-Eng.-82. This work was supported by the Director for Energy Research, Office of Basic Energy Sciences.
