Successive magnetic transitions and multi-step magnetization in GdBC

Description

We report the results of the magnetization measurements in the GdBC single crystal using a pulsed-magnet system up to 30 T and a SQUID magnetometer up to 5 T. The magnetization for the b-axis at 4.2 K shows three steps at 1, 5 and 15 T, being saturated above 23 T. The saturation moment is almost 7μB/Gd. Temperature dependence of the step fields is obtained for all axes. These imply that GdBC has the successive antiferromagnetic transitions with the complex magnetic structures in spite of the simple spin system of Gd3+
