Magnetic and structural instabilities in CePd2Al2 and LaPd2Al2

Magnetic and structural instabilities in CePd2Al2 and LaPd2Al2
Magnetic and structural instabilities in CePd2Al2 and LaPd2Al2
We have investigated the crystal and magnetic structure of the RPd2Al2 compounds (R=La, Ce) by neutron powder diffraction (ND) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS). The ND study shows that both compounds undergo a structural phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic symmetry at 91.5 K (La) and 13.5 K (Ce). In the case of CePd2Al2 the crystal field excitation spectrum, which has an extra peak that cannot be explained by a standard crystal field model, indicates the presence of strong magneto-elastic coupling.

Abstract

We have investigated the crystal and magnetic structure of the RPd2Al2 compounds (R=La, Ce) by neutron powder diffraction (ND) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS). The ND study shows that both compounds undergo a structural phase transition from tetragonal to orthorhombic symmetry at 91.5 K (La) and 13.5 K (Ce). In the case of CePd2Al2 the crystal field excitation spectrum, which has an extra peak that cannot be explained by a standard crystal field model, indicates the presence of strong magneto-elastic coupling.
