Field-Induced Magnetization Steps in Intermetallic Compounds and Manganese Oxides: The Martensitic Scenario
Field-induced magnetization jumps with similar characteristics are observed
at low temperature for the intermetallic germanide Gd5Ge4and the mixed-valent
manganite Pr0.6Ca0.4Mn0.96Ga0.04O3. We report that the field location -and even
the existence- of these jumps depends critically on the magnetic field sweep
rate used to record the data. It is proposed that, for both compounds, the
martensitic character of their antiferromagnetic-to-ferromagnetic transitions
is at the origin of the magnetization steps.Comment: 4 pages,4 figure

Low temperature properties of some Er-rich intermetallic compounds
The low temperature volumetric heat capacity ({approx}3.5 to 350 K) and magnetic susceptibility ({approx}4 to 320 K) of Er{sub 3}Rh, Er{sub 3}Ir, Er{sub 3}Pt, Er{sub 2}Al, and Er{sub 2}Sn have been measured. All of the compounds order antiferromagnetically (or ferrimagnetically), and most exhibit more than one magnetic ordering transition. The volumetric heat capacities in general are smaller than those of the prototype magnetic regenerator materials, except for Er{sub 3}Ir in the 12 to 14 K temperature range
