Elastic constants of HoNi2B2C
Source abstract
Abstract
We have measured the elastic constants of HoNi2B2C crystals by the ultrasound. In cooling under zero magnetic field, C66 for HoNi2B2C showed a huge softening from temperatures higher than 80K and took a discontinuous decrease and recovery around 5K. In the field applied along the b-axis, the softening of C66 was completely suppressed, while little affected by the field along the c-axis. Thus, it is concluded that this softening is magnetic in origin.
