Crystalline Structure of Potassium Holmium Double Tungstate

The potassium holmium double tungstate was prepared by using top seeded solution growth technique. Structural investigations have been performed at room temperature. The KHo(WO4)2 single crystal belongs to the monoclinic space group C2/c with the unit-cell parameters: a = 10.624(2) Å, b = 10.352(2) Å, c = 7.5434(15) Å, β = 130.7

The magnetic properties of potassium holmium double tungstate

The magnetic investigations of potassium holmium double tungstate KHo(WO⁴)² have been performed. The results of measurements of magnetic susceptibility and magnetization as a function of temperature (T from 0.3 K up to 100 K) and magnetic field (up to 1.5 T) are presented. A strong anisotropy of magnetic properties was found. The magnetic measurements data were used to calculate the interaction energy. It was shown that the interactions between nearest neighbors Ho³⁺ ions have antiferromagnetic character
