Investigation of magnetism and magnetic structure of anti-ThCr2Si2-type Tb2O2Bi by magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements

In this study, magnetization and neutron diffraction of anti-ThCr2Si2-type Tb2O2Bi polycrystals were measured at various temperatures. The magnetization cusp at 11.1 K was confirmed to correspond to antiferromagnetic ordering with a propagation vector of [0.5 0.5 0]. In addition, a metamagnetic behavior was observed below 5.0 K. The metamagnetic behavior could be attributed to the incommensurate magnetic structure with an anomaly at 5.0 K.In this study, magnetization and neutron diffraction of anti-ThCr2Si2-type Tb2O2Bi polycrystals were measured at various temperatures.
