摘要
The interplay between the Mn interlayer coupling constant nMn-Mn and the thermal expansion has been investigated by means of thermal-expansion, specific-heat, and magnetization measurements. A linear relation between nMn-Mn and the thermal expansion was established. This linear relation is used in the formulation of a quantitative model for temperature-induced metamagnetic transitions in RMn2Ge2 compounds. The observed relation between the unit-cell dimensions and the transition temperatures is interpreted in terms of this model. For polycrystalline Sm0.9Y0.1Mn2Ge2, the relation between the metamagnetic transitions and anomalies in the electrical resistivity was investigated. A magnetic-field-induced change of the resistance of 10% was observed at 185 K. It appears likely that magnetovolume effects are responsible for the anomalous resistance behavior. © 1994 The American Physical Society.
