Determination of the magnetic structure(s) in the charge density wave compound TbTe3
Our preliminary experiments on TbTe3 (see Fig. 1 and experimental reports CRG-2702 and 7-02-188) have shown a complex magnetic ordering with at least 2 (may be three) phase transitions below 6K with coexistence of commensurate and incommensurate structures. Despite the small sample size, the magnetic scattering cross section is so large that counting times at the magnetic Bragg peaks are in the order of 1000-10000 c/s in in22 and in ThALES. The interest of this proposal lies in the observation of an interaction between the ordered magnetic moments and the CDW manifested by the appearance of smaller magnetic peaks indexed as ½-qCDW along the modulation direction, the c-axis. The goal of this proposal is to determine the different magnetic structures that are present in this compound. The outcome of this experiment will be important for the understanding of the measured excitations in the inelastic neutron scattering experiments that we are carrying out, and in particular to the possible interaction between the CDW states and the magnetism in this compound.
