Crystal field effects on the magnetic behavior of Yb2V2O7 and Tm2V2O7

  • 1. McMaster Univ., Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Description

The bulk magnetic behaviors of the pyrochlores Yb2V2O7 and Tm2V2O7 were investigated. Calculated susceptibilities were adjusted to obtain the best fit to experimental data. A cubic crystal field Hamiltonian was used with B40 = 0.643 and B60 = 0.000705K for Yb3+ and B40 = 0.0297 and B60 = 0.000339K for Tm3+. The calculated susceptibility for Yb3+ was found to be insensitive to the addition of an axial B20 parameter to the cubic Hamiltonian
