Abstract |
We investigate the effects of an applied magnetic field on the magnetic properties of the antiferromagnet GdCoIn 5 . The prominent anisotropy observed in the susceptibility below TN is rapidly suppressed by a field of just a few Tesla. Further evidence of this low energy-scale is obtained from magnetoresistance and magnetostriction experiments. The lattice length, particularly, shows a sudden change below 2 T when the magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the crystallographic c^ -axis. |
