K.Ibarra, Manuel RicardoEffects of pressure on the magnetic-structural and griffiths-like transitions in Dy5Si3GeART-2013-85102Magnetization studies have been performed on a polycrystalline sample of Dy5Si3Ge as a function of an applied magnetic field (up to 50 kOe) and hydrostatic pressure (up to 10 kbar) in the 5–300 K temperature range. The anomalous behavior of the magnetic susceptibility indicates that a Griffiths-like phase exists at low magnetic fields and pressures up to 10 kbar. We present evidence that the high-temperature second-order ferromagnetic transition can be coupled with the low-temperature first-order crystallographic transformation into a single first-order magnetic-crystallographic transformation using a magnetic field and hydrostatic pressure as tuning parameters. The effect of pressure on the Griffiths-like phase is reported and analyzed in the framework of the complex competition between the interslab and intraslab magnetic interactions.2013http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/14515210.1103/PhysRevB.88.214429http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/145152oai:zaguan.unizar.es:145152info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E26info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2011-27553-C02info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2011-27553-C04Physical review.
