Neutron scattering study of role of partial disorder-type spin fluctuations in conductivity of frustrated conductor Mn$_3$Pt

The spin-frustrated conductor Mn$_3$Pt exhibits a characteristic magnetic structure called partial disorder in which some spin sites can form magnetic order through the generation of non-ordered sites that locally relieve the frustration. Here we report the results of a single-crystal inelastic neutron scattering study of this compound. The measured momentum $\vec{Q}$ correlations of diffusive magnetic scattering reveal that the paramagnetic phase exhibits short-range spin fluctuations with the same type of partial disorder. Its relation to conductivity is also discussed.

Magnetic Phase Diagrams with Possible Field-induced Antiferroquadrupolar Order in TbB$_2$C$_2$

Magnetic phase diagrams of a tetragonal antiferromagnet TbB$_2$C$_2$ were clarified by temperature and field dependence of magnetization. It is noticeable that the N{é}el temperature in TbB$_2$C$_2$ is anomalously enhanced with magnetic fields, in particular the enhancement reaches 13.5 K for the ${<}1 1 0{>}$ direction at 10 T. The magnetization processes as well as the phase diagrams are well interpreted assuming that there appear field-induced antiferroquadrupolar ordered phases in TbB$_2$C$_2$. The phase diagrams of the AFQ compounds in RB$_2$C$_2$ are systematically understood in terms of the competition with AFQ and AFM interactions.
