Magnetic phase transitions in geometrically frustrated SrHo2O4

DOI

We propose to probe the development of the low-temperature magnetism in SrHo2O4 using a high count rate diffractometer such as WISH or GEM. SrHo2O4 belongs to a family of compounds with the general formula SrR2O4, where R = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb. It is the arrangement of the R atoms in the structure that makes them interesting candidates for investigation as possible systems that may exhibit magnetic frustration. Our recent magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated for the first time that SrHo2O4 undergoes at low temperatures at least two phase transitions, the first one at 1.23 K and the second one at around 0.7 K. The proposed powder experiment will reveal the strength of magnetic reflections at low temperature, establish a propagation vector and check whether the magnetic order is long-range or short-range in nature.
