A Study on Step-Like Magnetization Curves in Tb3Ga5O12 at Low Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

The low temperature magnetizations of TbGG have been systematically investigated from the average effect of the nonequivalent crystal sites. Our calculated results show that the different nonequivalent crystal sites have the different contributions to the magnetization. The step-like appearance of the low temperature magnetization curves in TbGG originates from the average effect of the magnetizations of six nonequivalent crystal sites, not from the near-crossing of the lowest energy levels of Tb3+ ions.
