Field induced magnetic state of the ¿Faraday-rotator¿ KTb3F10
In recent years, the study of the coupling between the 4f electronic density and lattice degrees of freedom has aroused a lot of attention. Such interactions are suspected to play a key role in a number of issues, ranging from highly frustrated magnetism to the design of smart materials in optics. Preliminary single-crystal neutron diffraction experiments performed on the Faraday rotator KTb3F10 have revealed a decrease of the intensity on several Bragg reflections in a magnetic field up to 2 T, anomaly which can be interpreted as originating from a magneto-elastic coupling. To confirm this hypothesis, we need a more comprehensive study of the evolution of the crystal structure of KTb3F10 in an applied magnetic field. This will also lead to a better description of the Tb3+ environment, which will be used for crystal electric field modellings. For this study, we would require the D23 diffractometer, working in the 2-300 K range, up to 6 T.
