Gd5(SixGe1−x)4 exhibits a field induced first order phase transition from a monoclinic paramagnetic to an orthorhombic ferromagnetic at temperatures above its Curie temperature for 0.41≤x≤0.51. The field required to induce the transition increases with temperature. This field induced first order phase transition was observed even above the projected second order phase transitiontemperature of the orthorhombic phase. This may be due to the fact that the applied magnetic field is so high that it causes the broadening to a wider range of higher temperatures of the second order phase transition of the orthorhombic phase, and at such high magnetic fields the …

Gd5(SixGe1−x)4 for 0.41⩽x⩽0.5 is orthorhombic and ferromagnetic at lower temperature, monoclinic and paramagnetic at higher temperature, and shows a first order magnetic-structural phase transition between the two. Magnetic moment versus magnetic field (MH) isotherms were measured just above the first order transitiontemperature for Gd5Si1.95Ge2.05 and Gd5Si2Ge2 samples and the field-induced coupled phase transition from paramagnetic/monoclinic to ferromagnetic/orthorhombic phase was observed. Using the method developed by Arrott [Phys. Rev.108, 1394 (1957)], the ferromagnetic portions of the MH isotherms were used to project the second order magnetic phase transitiontemperature of the orthorhombic phase, a region where the transition does not occur due …
