Magnetic phase transitions and large mass enhancement in single crystal CaFe4As3

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/1/017402

Abstract High quality single crystal CaFe₄As₃ was grown by using the Sn flux method. Unlike layered CaFe₂As₂, CaFe₄As₃ crystallizes in an orthorhombic three-dimensional structure. Two magnetic ordering transitions are observed at ～90 K and ～27 K, respectively. The high temperature transition is an antiferromagnetic(AF) ordering transition. However, the low temperature transition shows complex properties. It shows a ferromagnetic-like transition when a field is applied along b-axis, while antiferromagnetism-like transition when a field is applied perpendicular to b-axis. These results suggest that the low temperature transition at 27 K is a first-order transition from an AF state to a canted AF state. In addition, the low temperature electron specific heat coefficient reaches as high as 143 mJ/mol·K², showing a heavy fermion behavior.

Keywords: antiferromagnetic ordering transition ferromagnetic ordering transition canted antiferromagnetic state
