Magnetic Properties of DyTe
1997
The magnetic properties of the lanthanide chalcogenides are much less explored than the monopnictides. The main reasons are probably difficulties in syntheses and the crystals growth. In particular, the properties of monotellurides are almost completely unknown. The dysprosium tellurides: DyTe and Dy2Τe3, crystallize in the structures related to the rock salt type. The first compound is metallic, while the second — semiconducting. Dysprosium sesquitelluride behaves like a simple antiferromagnet with the Neel temperature equal to 4.1 K [1]. We synthesized and investigated the dysprosium monnotelluride in order to examine a change of exchange interactions after transition to the metallic stat…
Magnetic properties of AgLnSe2 compounds (Ln=Ho, Er, Tm and Yb)
2001
Abstract The heavy lanthanide selenides AgLnSe2 (Ln=Ho–Yb) crystallize in the orthorhombic AgErSe2 type structure (P212121). The lanthanide ions are placed in the centres of slightly distorted octahedra, whereas each of the silver ions is surrounded by four selenide ions forming a strongly distorted tetrahedron. The high field magnetization (up to 14 T) and the magnetic susceptibility were measured on the polycrystalline samples. The crystal field parameters were estimated from the field dependences of the magnetizations, assuming a rhombic distortion of LnSe6 octahedra. The magnetic susceptibilities were also calculated using the same set of the crystal field parameters. None of the compou…
