الوصف: | High‐pulsed‐field magnetization measurements in the randomly mixed antiferromagnet FexMn1−xF2, with 0.15≤x≤0.40, have revealed an extremely broad spin‐flop transition, with a width of ΔH≂60 kOe. An unusual square shape, with rounded edges, is found in dM/dH, with an asymmetry which depends on x. For the largest values of x, an additional sharp peak is also seen. A four‐sublattice molecular‐field model has been used to interpret the results, and predicts a number of interesting effects. For 0.01≲x≲0.10, the usual first‐order spin‐flop is suppressed, and a new canted‐intermedi ate (CI) phase appears, in which the spins rotate continuously from the antiferromagnetic (AF) to spin‐flop (SF) phase. For 0.10≲x≲0.6, the CI–SF transition becomes first order, and for x≳0.6 the CI phase disappears, leaving a relatively normal first‐order spin‐flop. The model shows that small misalignments cause considerable broadening and rounding of the transition, and convincingly reproduces the experimental shapes and widths. |
