Mapping of magnetic excitations and phonons of UAu2Si2

DOI

Our recent study on the very first and high quality single crystal of UAu2Si2 revealed its interesting magnetic properties and complex magnetic phase diagram. We have determined a ground state magnetic structure below 19 K within our recent neutron diffraction experiment. The antiferromagnetic component of the structure is described by propagation vector (2/3,0,0) and magnetic moments are aligned along tetragonal c-axis. Ferromagnetic component was observed as a very weak magnetic signal on several nuclear reflections at 2 K, even though the FM component is traced in magnetization data already below 50K. We propose inelastic neutron scattering ToF experiment on IN4C spectrometer as a first step in inelastic study of this unique uranium based 1-2-2 compound. The mapping of magnetic excitations and phonons spectra in UAu2Si2 will allow us to continue with triple-axis studies on our high quality crystals in future. Proposed experiment would be performed within the stay of Ph.D student Michal Valiska (main proposer) at ILL (October 2017 - October 2018).
