The main fields of study

Study of pressure effect on the magnetic properties of metals, alloys and intermetallic compounds.

Some main results

Experimentally there was observed the general trend for increase of the exchange-correlation coupling between the conduction electrons in metals with decreasing of the atomic volume.

A large magnitude of the magnetovolume effect was observed in Ce and Yb based compounds in the intermediate valence state in the vicinity of a half-integer valence values.

Experimental equipment allows to study:

  • The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility in the range 4,2 – 300 K in magnetic field up to 1 T by a Faraday method with a sensitivity of about 10-9 emu

  • A range of the measured values of susceptibility is about (1–1000)õ10-6 emu/g and the accuracy is not worse then 0,2 %.
     
  • The effect of helium gas pressure up to 2 kbar on the magnetic susceptibility in the temperature range 20,3–300 K by a levitation method based on the principle of a free suspension of the sample in strong and non-uniform magnetic field. The relative errors are about 0,03 %. 
  • Another device for the pressure effect study is a pendulum type magnetometer placed directly into the pressure cell, which has the similar technical characteristics.
