Abstract
A mean-field model explaining most of the details in the magnetic phase diagram of ErNi2B2C is presented. The low-temperature magnetic properties are found to be dominated by the appearance of long-period commensurate structures. The stable structure at low temperatures and zero field is found to have a period of 40 layers along the a direction, and upon cooling it undergoes a first-order transition at TC≃2.3 K to a different 40-layered structure having a net ferromagnetic component of about 0.4μB/Er. The neutron-diffraction patterns predicted by the two 40-layered structures, above and below TC, are in agreement with the observations of Choi et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 107001 (2001)].
