Abstract

The magnetic structure of the pyrochlore Ho₂CrSbO₇, which orders magnetically below 13 K, has been studied using neutron powder diffraction. Ho₂CrSbO₇ is found to form an “ordered spin-ice structure” where the magnetic moments are constrained along the 111 axes, but with a ferromagnetic moment in one direction. The Cr³⁺ ions order ferromagnetically and this is thought to lift the degeneracy of the x, y and z directions in the cubic structure causing the ferromagnetic component from the Ho³⁺ ions to align. The pyrochlores RE₂CrSbO₇ where RE=Y, Tb, Dy and Er have also been prepared and studied using SQUID magnetometry.
