Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Kharkiv 61103, Ukraine T. Zajarniuk and A. Szewczyk Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw 02668, Poland Received December 23, 2021, published online May 20, 2022 Abstract Temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility of the ErAl3(BO3)4 single crystal was measured in the temperature range of T = 2–15 K at the external magnetic field of H = 100 Oe applied along the a and c crystallographic axes. The influence of spin-spin correlations on the magnetic susceptibility has been identified. It was estimated that the value of Curie–Weiss temperature is θAF ≈ –0.45 K. Key words: magnetic susceptibility, spin-spin correlations, Curie–Weiss temperature, dipole-dipole interactions, single crystal. |
