High-field magnetization and specific heat of TmNi sub(5)

High-field magnetization on two single-crystalline samples from different batches of TmNi sub(5) has been measured along the crystallographic a, b and c directions up to 38 T at 1.5 K. A small high-field susceptibility X sub(HF) identical with 6.3x10 super(-3) mu sub(B)/T f.u. was observed along the...

Description
Summary:High-field magnetization on two single-crystalline samples from different batches of TmNi sub(5) has been measured along the crystallographic a, b and c directions up to 38 T at 1.5 K. A small high-field susceptibility X sub(HF) identical with 6.3x10 super(-3) mu sub(B)/T f.u. was observed along the easy c-axis. The magnetization measured along both a- and b-axis shows hysteresis and a magnetic transition between 5 and 15 T. Specific heat has been measured from 1.5 to 160 K. A lambda -type peak found at about 3.7 K originates from the magnetic system.
