Coexistence of charge density wave and incommensurate antiferromagnetism in the cubic phase of DyGe^sub 2.85^ synthesised under high pressure

A novel metastable phase of DyGe2.85 synthesised in the AuCu3-structure under high pressure, has been studied by means of the magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity measurements (under the pressure P ≤ 3.1 GPa), neutron powder diffraction and time-differential γ-γ perturbed angular corre...

Description
Summary:A novel metastable phase of DyGe2.85 synthesised in the AuCu3-structure under high pressure, has been studied by means of the magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity measurements (under the pressure P ≤ 3.1 GPa), neutron powder diffraction and time-differential γ-γ perturbed angular correlations (TDPAC) using 111Cd nuclear probes. Two distinct phase transitions have been found in this compound as the temperature is lowered. We assign the first transition occurring at the temperature TCDW = 80 K with charge density wave formation and the second transition at TN ≈ 18 K with an antiferromagnetic spiral ordering of Dy magnetic moments, and discuss a close relationship between them.
