High field magnetization in Pr(Ni1-xCox)5 single crystals

Magnetization measurements in fields up to 38 T performed at low temperature on single crystals of the hexagonal Pr(Ni1-xCox)5 compounds for x = 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 are presented. In PrNi5 we observe highly original behaviour predicted by the knowledge of the Crystalline Electric Field parameters...

Description
Summary:Magnetization measurements in fields up to 38 T performed at low temperature on single crystals of the hexagonal Pr(Ni1-xCox)5 compounds for x = 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 are presented. In PrNi5 we observe highly original behaviour predicted by the knowledge of the Crystalline Electric Field parameters and arising from the existence of a non-magnetic singlet ground state; namely transitions associated with the field induced “anticrossing” and “crossing” of the two lowest states along the [100] and [120] directions, respectively. The measurements performed on the other compounds have allowed us to study the dependence of this behaviour on Co substitutions.
