M. Manekar et al., First-order transition from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism in CeFe2-based pseudobinary alloys, J PHYS-COND, 12(25), 2000, pp. L409-L415
We present the results of alternating-current susceptibility measurements h
ighlighting the presence of thermal hysteresis and phase coexistence across
the ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic transition in various CeFe2-based p
seudobinary systems. These results indicate that the ferromagnetic-to-antif
erromagnetic transition in these systems is first order in nature.
