Abstract

Magnetism of layered compound Eu₁₋_xCa_xCo₂P₂ was investigated by means of magnetization, specific heat, and electrical resistivity measurements. It is found that Eu undergoes a phase transition from a divalent state to a mixed-valence state of Eu²⁺^δ and Eu⁽³⁻^δ^′)+ simultaneously with a structural transition from the uncollapsed tetragonal (ucT) phase to the collapsed tetragonal (cT) phase near x = 0.5. Whereas the compounds with the ucT structure exhibit antiferromagnetic ordering of Eu²⁺ moments, those with the cT structure exhibit additional magnetic ordering of Co moments. The ordering temperature of Co moments is much higher than those in other ACo₂P₂ systems with a divalent A cation. These results suggest that an electron-doping effect on Co 3d bands owing to the Eu valence transition stabilizes the magnetic ordering of Co moments.

Eu1-xCaxCo2P2 中价态和结构不稳定性合作诱导的磁序

通过磁化、比热和电阻率测量，研究了层状化合物 Eu1-xCaxCo2P2 的磁性。研究发现，在 x = 0.5 附近，Eu 经历了从二价态到 Eu2+δ 和 Eu(3-δ′)+混合价态的相变，同时发生了从非塌缩四方（ucT）相到塌缩四方（cT）相的结构转变。具有 ucT 结构的化合物表现出 Eu2+ 矩的反铁磁排序，而具有 cT 结构的化合物则表现出 Co 矩的附加磁性排序。Co 矩的有序温度远高于其他含有二价 A 阳离子的 ACo2P2 系统。这些结果表明，Eu 价态转变对 Co 3d 带产生的电子掺杂效应稳定了 Co 矩的磁有序性。
