Magnetické vlastnosti Nd2RhIn8 a příbuzných tetragonálních sloučenin na bázi Nd
Pajskr, Karel ; Javorský, Pavel (advisor) ; Svoboda, Pavel (referee)
In this work we report on physical properties of Nd2RhIn8 and Nd2IrIn8 rare-earth intermetallic compounds from the RmTnX{2n+3m} compound family. The compounds crystallize in the P4/mmm space group. Both compounds are anti-ferromagnetic with Néel temperatures TN of 10.8 K, 12.5 K respectively and their magnetization curves show characterisic step-like transitions at low temperatures. The measured M(T) and/or M(H) magnetization curves were used to determine magnetic phase diagrams for field along the c-axis. The specific heat of Nd2IrIn8 was analyzed at temperatures T<TN with respect to the dimensionality of the magnetic excitations. In the T>TN region the Schottky specific heat and susceptibility were compared to calculations based on the crystal field scheme in Nd2IrIn8 obtained by ab-initio methods.

Anizotropic magnetic properties of the tetragonal R2TIn8 compounds
Pajskr, Karel ; Javorský, Pavel (advisor) ; Svoboda, Pavel (referee)
This thesis deals with termodynamic and magnetic properities of the intermetalic compound Er2RhIn8. This compound is a member of the wide intermetalics family of RX3, RTX5 and R2TX8, crystallizing in related structures and having non-trivial magnetic properities and phase diagrams, including the Ce-based heavy-fermion superconductivity. The thesis is a part of the broader research of these compounds. Single Er2RhIn8 crystals were prepared from flux with their stoichiometry and structure verified by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry and Laue method, respectively. Heat capacity and magnetization measurements were performed on the produced crystals and the measured data were analyzed. As a result, the compound was classified as antiferromagnetic under the order temperature of 3,8(1) K with an easy magnetization axis of [110] and relatively low magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Heat capacity measurements indicate a relatively small splitting of the energy levels of the rare-earth ion ground state due to the crystal field.
