Magnetic Order in Quaternary NiMnGe:T (T = Cr, Ti) Compounds

Article Preview

Abstract:

The work reports the results of neutron diffraction measurements of NiMnGe:T systems where T is Cr or Ti. All investigated compounds have the helicoidal magnetic structure with the propagation vector k = (ka,0,0). The values of the ka component decrease with increasing Cr content and increase with increasing Ti content. For all compounds, except the sample with x = 0.18 in Cr-system, the helicoidal order is stable up to the Néel temperature. The obtained data are analysed based on simple model in which the magnetic interactions are described by two exchange integrals J1 > 0 for first and J2 < 0 for second neighbouring moments. This model clears up different dependence of ka component in different systems.
