Abstract [en]

The present study investigated the magnetic nature of a solid solution system consisting of EuCo2P2 and CaCo2P2 using a muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu +SR) technique, which is sensitive to local magnetic environments. The former compound EuCo2P2 is known to enter an incommensurate helical antiferromagnetic (AF) phase below 66 K with neutrons, which was confirmed by the present mu +SR. The magnitude of the ordered Eu moments proposed with neutrons was found to be consistent with that estimated by mu +SR. Furthermore, the latter lattice-collapsed tetragonal phase compound CaCo2P2 is known to enter an A-type AF phase below 90 K, and mu +SR measurements on single crystals revealed the presence of a spin reorientation transition at around 40 K, below which the A-type AF order is likely to be completed. Although all Eu1-xCaxCo2P2 compounds were found to enter a magnetic phase at low temperatures regardless of x, a static ordered state was formed only at the vicinity of the two end compounds, i.e., 0 x 0.4 and 0.9 x 1. Instead, a disordered state, i.e., a random spin-glass state, short-range ordered state, or highly fluctuating state was found in the x range between 0.4 and 0.9, even at the lowest measured temperature (2 K). Together with the magnetization data, our findings clarified the magnetic phase diagram of Eu1-xCaxCo2P2, where a ferromagnetic exchange interaction between Co ions through the Eu2+ ion competes with a direct AF interaction among the Co ions, particularly in the x range between 0.57 and 0.9. This competition yielded multiple phases in Eu1-xCaxCo2P2.
