摘要
We have grown single crystals of EuFe2As2, and investigated its electrical transport and thermodynamic properties. Electrical resistivity and specific-heat measurements clearly establish the intrinsic nature of magnetic phase transitions at 20 and 195 K. While the high-temperature phase transition is associated with the itinerant moment of Fe, the low-temperature phase transition is due to magnetic order of localized Eu moments. Band-structure calculations point out a very close similarity of the electronic structure with SrFe2As2. Magnetically, the Eu and Fe2As2 sublattices are nearly decoupled.
