Magnetic structures in intermetallics of the Eu-Pd-Sn system
The anomalous behaviors of Eu and Yb attracted much interest in intermetallic compounds containing these 2 rare earths (RE). In fact, RE are usually found in a 3+ state, but Eu and Yb can also exhibit a 2+ state or even intermediate valence. Examples of these anomalous effects in Eu and Yb-based intermetallics are heavy fermion behavior, Kondo interactions and superconductivity. Compared with Yb compounds, much less studies were devoted to Eu compounds, due to the fact that synthesis is made even more difficult (both have a high vapor pressure) because Eu is more sensitive to oxygen and moisture. We aim to investigate the magnetic structures of 2 new compounds EuPdSn2 and Eu2Pd2Sn, both exhibiting a 2+ state and ordered magnetic Eu state, as inferred by inverse susceptibilities measurements. To overcome the problems related to the strong Eu neutron absorption, we will use a large-area flat-plat geometry sample holder (see the technical documentation file), already used at D20 diffractometer for detecting magnetic moment as low as 0.5 mB at the Sm site in SmFeAsO. In the last 2 calls the proposal was accepted (A7.3 and A7.5) but could not be awarded beam time due to national balance
