遍歴4f電子メタ磁性体Ce(Fe1-xCox)2の強磁場低温Ｘ線回折
X-ray Diffraction Study on the Itinerant 4f-Electron Metamagnet Ce(Fe1-xCox)2 in High Fields at Low Temperatures
低温・磁場中での粉末Ｘ線回折実験により，Ce(Fe1-xCox)2における磁場誘起の結晶構造変化，および磁場中での磁気体積効果を明らかにした．磁場の印加により，メタ磁性転移を伴って，基底状態の菱面体構造がＣ-15型立方晶構造へ変化することが分かった．

The field induced structural transition and the magneto-volume effect in the itinerant 4f-electron metamagnet Ce(Fe1-xCox)2 have been investigated by powder x-ray diffraction measurements in high magnetic fields at low temperatures. We found that the rhombohedral structure in the ground state changed to the C15-type cubic structure by applying magnetic field, accompanied by a metamagnetic transition.
