Temperature dependence of the static magnetic susceptibility for higher borides MeB_{50}, where Me = V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co and Ni, was measured by Faraday method in the temperature range of 78-300 K. The value of effective magnetic moment of 3d-ions, resulted from the experiment, is compared with corresponding data of the ab initio calculations of the electronic structure and magnetic properties of these compounds based on the density functional theory.

We investigated the valence states of samarium ions in Sm deficient Sm_{1-x}B_{6} (x=0.03, 0.05, 0.08, 0.1 and 0.2) sintered samples, in single crystalline solid solutions Sm_{1-x}La_{x}B_{6} (x=0.16, 0.28, 0.4, 0.55 and 0.7) as well as in a SmB_{6} single crystal by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) between 4.2 and 300 K. It was shown that the mixed valence state v_{Sm} of Sm-ions (v_{Sm} ≈ 2.51 for SmB_{6} at 4.2 K) in deficient samples is changed but maintained up to a concentration of 20% of vacancies and up to a concentration of 70% in samples doped with trivalent La-ions, and that in both cases it increases with temperature. On the other hand, the value of v_{Sm} increases with increasing vacancy level, whereas it decreases with increasing La^{3+} substitution. The obtained dependences of Sm-valence in SmB_{6} on vacancy as well as on La^{3+} ion concentration are in good agreement with susceptibility measurements and exact numerical calculation of the spinless Falicov-Kimball model in two dimensions.

Magnetic Phase Diagram of TmB_{4} under High Pressure

EN
TmB_{4} is a Shastry-Sutherland frustrated system which exhibits very complex magnetic properties. In this contribution the phase diagram of magnetic field vs. temperature of TmB_{4} under hydrostatic pressure up to 26.5 kbar is investigated using sensitive ac-resistance measurements. Temperature and magnetic field dependences of resistance at various pressures were carried out in a piston cylinder pressure cell between 1.7 and 14 K and in magnetic fields up to 6 T. The obtained results exhibit shifts of ordering temperatures T_{N} as well as shifts of boundaries between different magnetic phases. The observed pressure dependences of T_{N} can be described by the relation d lnT_{N}/dp=+(0.16÷0.18) %/kbar. The effect of pressure on various interactions between magnetic ions in this compound is discussed.

High precision measurements of the Seebeck coefficient S(T) were carried out on the single crystals of RB_{12} (R = Ho, Er, Tm, Lu) at temperatures 2-300 K. It was shown that the effects of phonon drag result from vibrations of rare earth ions (ħω_E≈10-33 meV) in the rigid framework structure of the B_{12} clusters and determine the main contribution to thermopower at intermediate temperatures (30-300 K). The correlated behavior of transport parameters favors the appreciable enhancement of spin fluctuations in the sequence of magnetic compounds (HoB_{12}-TmB_{12}) when approaching to the valence instability state in YbB_{12}. The giant increase in S(T) detected in the vicinity of the Néel temperature T_N for HoB_{12}, ErB_{12}, and TmB_{12} seems to result from the density of states renormalization caused by antiferromagnetic ordering.

We have studied the influence of hydrostatic pressure on the electrical resistivity of carbon-doped semimetal EuB₆ which orders ferromagnetically at T_{C}=3.9 K and is intrinsically inhomogeneous due to fluctuations of carbon content. We observed a shift of the low-temperature resistivity maximum from 4.6 K (at 1 bar) to 5.2 K (at 30.3 kbar) with increasing pressure. However, the maximum of the derivative dρ/dT(T), which reveals the temperature of ferromagnetic ordering, does not change its position with increasing pressure. This behaviour is different from stoichiometric EuB₆, where pressure increases the ferromagnetic ordering temperature. The origin of this discrepancy may lie in the increase of volume fraction of the non-ferromagnetic phase with increase of pressure. Additional magnetoresistance measurements at various pressures between 1.5 K and 30 K have shown that with increase of magnetic field the resistivity is monotonically decreasing, and above 1 T a transition to a monotonic resistivity behaviour (dρ/dT(T)>0) is observed. Our results support the picture that carbon-rich regions play a role of "spacers", which prevent the percolation of the ferromagnetic phase.

Anomalous Transport Properties of Carbon-Doped EuB_6

EN
In the presented work we report electrical, magnetic and thermal properties of EuB_{6-x}C_{x} single crystals with an estimated value of x ≈ 0.07. Our studies reveal an antiferromagnetic phase transition at T_{N} ≈ 6.7 K. Electrical resistivity at zero magnetic field shows a pronounced resistivity maximum at T_{M} ≈ 7 K, just above the antiferromagnetic phase transition temperature. With increasing applied magnetic field the maximum moves to lower temperature and becomes totally suppressed at the field of 9 T. Observed magnetoresistance is negative in the whole studied temperature range 2-20 K, yielding a ratio of ρ(0 T, 7 K)/ρ(9 T, 7 K) ≈ 2.5. The origin of such magnetoresistance is associated with formation of mixed magnetic structure in the system due to fluctuation of carbon concentration.

Angular dependences of ESR line parameters (g-factor and linewidth Δ H) were experimentally explored in the antiferroquadrupolar phase of heavy fermion system CeB₆ at T=1.8 K. The data were obtained in two experimental geometries with different mutual directions of the wavevector k and the external magnetic field H at frequency of f=60 GHz. A g-factor anisotropy was found: while g-factors for [110] and [111] directions are close to each other (g ≈1.6), it is considerably higher (g ≈1.75) for [100]. The obtained angular dependence g(Θ) was compared with the theoretically predicted g-factor behavior for the Γp₈ state of Ce³⁺ ion in antiferroquadrupolar phase of CeB₆. It turns out that the experimental g-factor is considerably smaller at all angles than the theoretically calculated limits (2

High precision measurements of magnetoresistance Δρ/ρ = f(T,H) and magnetization M(T,H) were carried out on single crystals of rare-earth dodecaboride ErB_{12} at temperatures in the interval 1.8-30 K in magnetic fields up to 70 kOe. The high accuracy of the experiments allowed us to perform numerical differentiation and analyze quantitatively the behavior of the derivative d(Δρ/ρ)/dH = f(T,H) and of the magnetic susceptibility χ(T,H) = dM/dH in paramagnetic and magnetically ordered (antiferromagnetic, T_N ≈ 6.7 K and T_M ≈ 5.85 K) phases of ErB_{12}. It was shown that negative magnetoresistance anomalies observed in present study in paramagnetic state of ErB_{12} may be consistently interpreted in the framework of a simple relation between resistivity and magnetization -Δρ/ρ ~ M^2.

Transport and magnetic properties of polycrystalline Tm_{0.03}Yb_{0.97}B₁₂ samples were investigated at temperatures 1.8-300 K in magnetic fields up to 9 T. The activated behavior of resistivity, the Hall coefficient and thermopower is described in terms of a narrow gap ε_g ≈ 16.6 meV, which controls the charge transport in Tm_{0.03}Yb_{0.97}B₁₂ at T>40 K. The maximum of magnetic susceptibility found at 50 K is shown to be induced by a spin gap Δ ≈ 4.7 meV being close to the half of the spin fluctuation energy in YbB₁₂. Large diffusive thermopower S=AT, A=-29.1 μV/K² and the Pauli susceptibility χ₀ ≈ 7.2×10¯³ emu/mol found below 20 K seem to be associated with the many-body resonance, which corresponds to states with an enhanced effective mass m* ≈ 250m₀ (m₀ - free electron mass). The effective parameters of magnetic centers and the analysis of anomalies favor the nonequivalent states of substitute Tm ions.

The antiferromagnetic ground state has been studied by transverse magnetoresistance, heat capacity and magnetization measurements, which were carried out on high quality single crystals of Tm_{0.996}Yb_{0.004}B_{12} dodecaboride in strong magnetic fields at liquid helium temperatures. Both antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic (AF-P) and spin-orientation (AF1-AF2) phase transitions have been observed, and allowed to construct a complicated magnetic H-T phase diagram for this compound. Strong magnetoresistance anisotropy was found both in AF states (ρ(H||[110])/ρ(H||[111])~ 1.2 at H~ 20 kOe) and at the critical field of AF-P transition (H_{N}[100]/H_{N}[111]~ 1.25) in this magnetic metal with a simple fcc crystal structure.

Anisotropy of Magnetoresistance in HoB₁₂

EN
We present results of precision measurements of magnetoresistance of isotopically pure Ho¹¹B₁₂ at low temperatures 2÷10 K in magnetic field up to 80 kOe of different orientation to the crystal axes. The data obtained revealed strong anisotropy of magnetoresistance and allowed us to reconstruct magnetic H-T phase diagrams for main crystallographic directions H || [001], [110], and [111]. Analysis of magnetoresistance derivatives allowed to conclude in favor of two main magnetoresistance contributions. Among of them the negative quadratic component is attributed to charge carriers scattering on a magnetic clusters of Ho³⁺ ions (4f component) and positive linear one may be explained in terms of scattering on a spin density waves (5d component).

Charge Transport and Magnetism in Eu_{1-x}Ca_{x}B_6

59%
EN
Transport, magnetic and thermal properties of substitutional solid solution Eu_{1 - x}Ca_{x}B_6 single crystals (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.244) have been studied at 1.8 ≤ T ≤ 300 K and in magnetic fields up to 8 T. Calcium doping is shown to result in a metal-insulator transition, which occurs at x_{MIT} ≈ 0.2. In vicinity of metal-insulator transition the effect of colossal magnetoresistance is found to be very sensitive to Ca content, the amplitude varying from Δ = [ ρ (0)- ρ (8T)]/ρ(8T) ≈1.4×10^2 to Δ ≈ 7.5 × 10^3 for 0.14 ≤ x ≤ 0.16. The analysis of magnetic contribution to heat capacity shows that a large amount of magnetic entropy ( ≈ 30%) releases in Eu_{0.845}Ca_{0.155}B_6 when moving from the Curie temperature T_{C} ≈ 5.5 K to the characteristic one T* ≈ 30 K. This observation as well as the large amplitude of low field colossal magnetoresistance effect and the deviation of magnetic susceptibility from the Curie-Weiss law detected for x = 0.155 compound in the interval T_{C} ≤ T ≤ T* seem to be associated with magnetic phase separation induced by Ca doping.

Anisotropy of the Charge Transport in GdB₆

59%
EN
The anisotropy of charge transport was investigated in the antiferromagnetic II state of GdB₆ from precise measurements of transverse magnetoresistance. Based on the data obtained we detected a complicated behavior of magnetoresistance curves which are characterized by the appearance of considerable hysteresis on the field and angular dependences below T_{N2}. Moreover it was shown that the system GdB₆ is sensitive to cooling-warming prehistory. The data analysis allowed to reconstruct magnetic H-T phase diagram of GdB₆ along main crystallographic directions (H||⟨001⟩,⟨110⟩,⟨111⟩) and to propose additional phase transition inside AF II phase at H₁ ≈ 0.5 T.
