23 Jun 2006 | Subject: | Strongly Correlated Electrons | Abstract: | The RFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$ series manifests strongly correlated electron behavior for the non-magnetic R = Y member and remarkably high temperature, ferromagnetic ordering ($T_C$ = 86 K) for the local moment bearing R = Gd member; for a compound that is less than 5% atomic Gd. In contrast, the isostructural RCo$_2$Zn$_{20}$ series manifests a more typical ordering temperature ($T_N$ = 5.7 K for GdCo$_2$Zn$_{20}$) and YCo2Zn20 does not show any signs of correlated electron behavior. Studies of R(Fe_xCo_{1-x))2Zn20 (R = Gd, Y), combined with bandstructure calculations for the end members, reveal that YFe2Zn20 is a nearly ferromagnetic Fermi liquid and that the remarkably high T_C associated with GdFe2Zn20 is the result of submerging a large local moment into such a highly polarizable matrix. These results indicate that the RFe2Zn20 series, and more broadly the RT2Zn20 (T = Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Ru, Rh, Os, Ir, Pt) isostructural family of compounds, offer an exceptionally promising phase space for the study of the interaction between local moment and correlated electron effects near the dilute R limit. | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0606615 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
