Experimental Study of Induced Staggered Magnetic Fields in Dysprosium Gallium Garnet (DGG)

摘要

Neutron diffraction techniques have been used to study induced staggered magnetic field effects in DGG. The application of a uniform magnetic field at temperatures much greater than the Neel temperature induces a significant amount of antiferromagnetic order. The temperature and field dependences of this effect are in good agreement with recent theoretical predicions. (ERA citation 04:051991)
