Phase diagram of the quasi one-dimensional antiferromagnet CsNi_1−xFe_xCl₃ with easy-plane anisotropy induced by impurities — •Klaus Kiefer¹, Jürgen Wolf¹, Maikel C. Rheinstädter¹, and Mechthild Enderle^1,2 — ¹Technische Physik, Universität des Saarlandes, Saarbrücken, Germany — ²Institut Laue Langevin, Grenoble, France

The magnetic phase diagrams of the Fe²⁺ doped hexagonal ABX₃ compounds CsNi_0.98Fe_0.02Cl₃ and CsNi_0.9Fe_0.1Cl₃ are investigated measuring the heat capacity and the magnetocaloric effect. Considering the large amount of impurity ions, the phase boundaries appear surprisingly well-defined. This proves that doping is an effective means to manipulate the anisotropy in the quasi one-dimensional ABX₃ compounds. We observe the same phase sequence in both samples, including the new umbrella phase, and discuss the effective anisotropies.
