Abstract

We report on the magnetic specific heats of NdBa2Cu3−xGaxO7−y measured in the temperature range from 0.45 to 100 K. The Ga substitution in the Cu chain sites descreases the superconducting transition temperature drastically. Simultaneously, there is a systematic increase of temperature of magnetic ordering of the Nd3+ ions with Ga substitution. The nature of the magnetic ordering of Nd3+ ion changes from two-dimensional (2D) anisotropic Ising behavior for the oxygen rich compound with zero Ga content to 1D Ising-like for low Ga concentration. With higher Ga concentration, at the advent of nonsuperconductivity, long-range (3D) magnetic ordering is reestablished. The increase of the magnetic interaction between the Nd3+ ions by the substitution of Ga is discussed with the variation of carrier concentration, increase in the Nd-O bond length and with the additional interaction due to Cu-ion ordering in the nonsuperconducting compounds.
