Neutron-diffraction study of UNiGe in high-magnetic fields up to 17 T — •Karel Prokes1, Oleksandr Chernyavski2, Pavel Svoboda2, Vladimir Sechovsky2, Ekkehard Bruck3, Frank de Boer3, Michael Meissner1, and Peter Smeibidl11Hahn-Meitner-Inst., Glienickerstr. 100, 141 09 Berlin — 2DES, Charles University, 121 16 Prague, The Czech Republic — 3Van der Waals-Zeeman Inst., University of Amsterdam, 1018 XE Amsterdam, The Netherlands

UNiGe orders antiferromagnetically below TN = 50 K with an additional magnetic phase transition at 42 K. Both structures are non-collinear with significant a-axis component and can be modified by application of a magnetic field along the b or c axes. While the magnetic structure above the highest critical field is forced ferromagnetic for both field orientations, in the intermediate region uncompensated antiferromagnetic structures exist. The a-axis is a hard magnetization direction. Our recent neutron-diffraction experiments in high magnetic fields up to 17 T directed along the principal axes are entirely in agreement with the proposed high magnetic anisotropy of UNiGe. Energy considerations suggest that the antiferromagnetically aligned x-component of the magnetization should prevail in the forced ferromagnetic state. Qualitatively, this can be understood as inability of the Zeeman energy to overcome the anisotropic exchange.
