Crystallographic, electronic structure and magnetic properties of the GdTAl; T=Co, Ni and Cu ternary compounds
Abstract Single phase GdCoAl, GdCuAl and single crystal GdNiAl samples of good quality were synthesized. The electrical resistivity, magnetization and AC susceptibility as a function of temperature revealed in all these compounds a ferromagnetic ordering at 100, 83 and 60 K, respectively. A magnetic transition, probably to a non-colinear structure was observed in GdNiAl at 31 K as well as the presence of the third magnetic transition at 14 K, while in the GdCuAl compound an evidence of similar transition was found at 23 K. In GdNiAl a transition between two different crystallographic phases of ZrNiAl-type was observed at 220 K. The transition was accompanied by rapid jumps of crystal lattic…
Dielectric and magnetic properties of CdMoO4:Gd3+ single crystal
Broadband dielectric spectroscopy and magnetic measurements provide experimental evidence that the CdMoO4:Gd 3+ single crystal is the paramagnet with low relative dielectric permittivity (er � 8), which slightly depends on the temperature and frequencies. Magnetization with zero coercivity and remanence is almost a universal function of l0H/T, characterizing superparamagnetic-like behavior. These results are being considered in a framework of the random distribution of the Ga 3+ ions in the tetragonal structure.
