Itinerant-Electron Metamagnetism

  • Chapter

Abstract

There are many materials which exhibit the first-order transition caused by changing external parameters such as magnetic field, pressure and temperature as well as internal parameters such as exchange field and composition. The first-order transition, which takes place between a nonmagnetic state and a ferromagnetic state, is called the itinerant-electron metamagnetic transition (IEMT). This transition is in contrast to the transition in localized electron magnets which are antiferromagnetic or hilimagnetic in the grand state. This phenomenon is closely correlated to the magnetic instability and often observed in exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnets. This magnetic instability causes not only the IEMT but also various striking properties such as enhanced magnetic susceptibility and its temperature maximum, large electronic specific heat coefficient, significant magnetovolume effects and so on. Therefore, the IEMT is interesting from not only fundamental but also practical viewpoints. Exchange-enhanced Pauli paramagnets, Laves-phase compounds such as YCo2 and LuCo2, have been investigated from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints. In these compounds, the IEMT is closely correlated with the peculiar band structure near the Fermi level and spin fluctuations. Thus far, the itinerant-electron metamagnetism has mainly been investigated from the viewpoint of basic researches. This chapter sheds light on the marked changes in magnetic properties caused by the itinerant-electron metamagnetic transition, intending practical applications.
