Spin Reorientation in Antiferromagnetic MnPd 5 Se with an Anti-CeCoIn 5 Structure Type

MnPd 5 Se, a derivative of the anti-CeCoIn 5 -type phase, was synthesized from a high-temperature solid-state reaction, structurally determined by X-ray diffraction, and magnetically characterized with a combined magnetic measurement and neutron powder diffraction (NPD). According to the X-ray diffraction results, MnPd 5 Se crystallizes in a layered tetragonal structure with the same space group as CeCoIn 5 , P4/mmm (No. 123). MnPd5Se shows antiferromagnetic ordering around 80 K on the basis of the magnetic property measurements. An A-type antiferromagnetic structure was revealed from the analysis of neutron powder diffraction results at 300, 50, and 6 K. Moreover, a spin orientation rotation was observed as the temperature decreased. Pd L 3 X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy results for MnPd5Se semiqualitatively correlate with the calculated density of states supporting a nominal 0.2 electron transfer into the Pd d orbital from either Se or Mn in the compound. The discovery of MnPd 5 Se, along with our previously reported MnT 5 Pn (T = Pd or Pt; Pn = P or As), provides a tunable system for studying the magnetic ordering from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism with the strong spin–orbit coupling effect.

Mn(Pt 1–x Pd x ) 5 P: Isovalent tuning of Mn-sublattice magnetic order

Here, e report the growth and characterization of MnPd 5 P, a rare-earth-free ferromagnet, with T C ≈ 295 K and planar anisotropy, and conduct a substitutional study with its antiferromagnetic analogue MnPt 5 P. We provide a solution route to grow large single crystals of MnPd 5 P and the series Mn(Pt 1–x Pd x ) 5 P by adding Mn into Pd-P and (Pt 1–x Pd x )-P based melts. All compounds in the family adopt the layered anti-CeCoIn5 type structure with the space group P4/mmm, and EDS and X-ray diffraction results indicate that MnPt 5 P and MnPd 5 P form a complete solid solution. Based on measurements of the temperature- and field-dependent magnetization and resistance, we construct a temperature-composition (T-x) phase diagram for Mn(Pt 1–x Pd x ) 5 P and demonstrate that the initial antiferromagnetic order found in MnPt 5 P is extraordinarily sensitive to Pd substitution. At low Pd fractions (x < 0.010), the single antiferromagnetic transition in pure MnPt 5 P splits into a higher temperature ferromagnetic transition followed first, upon cooling, by a lower temperature ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic transition and then by a re-entrant antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic transition at even lower temperatures. The antiferromagnetic region makes up a bubble phase that persists up to x ≈ 0.008-0.009 for T ≈ 150 K, with all samples x < 0.008 recovering their initial ferromagnetic state upon further cooling to base temperature. Over the same low substitution range we find a non-monotonic change in the room temperature value of the unit cell volume, further suggesting that pure MnPt 5 P is very close to an instability. Once x > 0.010, Mn(Pt 1–x Pd x ) 5 P undergoes a only single transition into the ferromagnetic phase. The Curie temperature initially increases rapidly with x, rising from T C ≈ 197 K at x = 0.013 to a maximum of T C ≈ 312 K for x ≈ 0.62, and then falling back to T C ≈ 295 K for pure MnPd 5 P (x = 1.00). Given that Pt and Pd are isoelectronic, this work raises questions as to the origin of the extreme sensitivity of the magnetic ground state in MnPt 5 P upon introducing Pd.

Use of Refractory-Volatile Element Deep Eutectic Regions to Grow Single Crystalline Intermetallic Compounds

Compounds containing both refractory and volatile elements present a unique challenge for crystal growth, given the conflicting realities of high melting temperatures and high vapor pressures. Nevertheless, the discovery of superconductivity in FeAs and FeSe based materials and a Weyl semimetal state in TaP are motivations to explore compounds containing such pairs. Here, we discuss use of the low-melting single phase liquid regions above deep M-X eutectics (M=transition metal, X=P, S) as the basis for high temperature solutions for growing intermetallic compounds containing volatile-refractory pairs. We show that Ni-P, Pd-P, Pt-P, and Pd-S compositions form single phase melts at moderate temperatures below 1000 °C and with minimal vapor pressure. We first present the simple case of growing Ni 2 P from Ni-P and next discuss the more complicated growth of RPd 3 S 4 (R=La, Ce, Nd, Eu) from a Pd-S melt. We show how frit-disc alumina crucible sets allow for contamination-free capture of decanted liquid and its reuse in subsequent experiments, demonstrating a fractionation of the CePd 3 S 4 growth to determine the optimal conditions for crystal growth. We conclude by using the single phase liquid regions above the Pt-P and Pd-P eutectics to grow single crystals of MPt 5 P (M=Mn, Fe) and MnPd 5 P. As these materials have primarily been studied in polycrystalline form, we give an overview of the magnetic and transport properties of our single crystals. The examples outlined here illustrate the utility of using the single phase liquid above deep metal-X eutectics for solution growth and materials discovery.
