Abstract
Recently, Junbao He et al. reported on magnetic ordering in the topological candidate EuZnBi\(_2\) (He et al. J. Supercond. Nov. Magn. 37, 579 2024) and suggested that there is a spin reorientation near 15 K, below the initial antiferromagnetic transition at T\(_N\)=20 K. Here we use \(^{151}\)Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy to show that the situation is more complex. The initial ordering involves an incommensurate sinusoidally modulated structure that progressively squares up on further cooling.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism serves as the international forum for the most current research and ideas in these fields. This highly acclaimed journal publishes peer-reviewed original papers, conference proceedings and invited review articles that examine all aspects of the science and technology of superconductivity, including new materials, new mechanisms, basic and technological properties, new phenomena, and small- and large-scale applications. Novel magnetism, which is expanding rapidly, is also featured in the journal. The journal focuses on such areas as spintronics, magnetic semiconductors, properties of magnetic multilayers, magnetoresistive materials and structures, magnetic oxides, etc. Novel superconducting and magnetic materials are complex compounds, and the journal publishes articles related to all aspects their study, such as sample preparation, spectroscopy and transport properties as well as various applications.
