Abstract

The effect of electron doping by the substitution of Rh for Ru on unconventional magnetic order in CeRu2Al10 was investigated via neutron powder diffraction. In Ce(Ru1-xRhx)2Al10 with x = 0.05, 0.12, and 0.2, reorientation of the ordered moment from the c-axis as in pure CeRu2Al10 to the a-axis takes place in all samples, while the ordering vector q=(0,1,0)remains unchanged within this concentration range. The moment reorientation is accompanied by an increase in its size by a factor of ∼2.4, from μ = 0.43 μ B at x = 0 to μ = 1.06, 1.04, and 1.02 μ B for x = 0.05, 0.12, and 0.2, respectively. The continuous decrease in the Néel temperature T0(TN ), despite an abrupt increase in μ , underlines the strong anisotropy in the exchange interaction in CeRu2Al10 and the fact that this anisotropy is easily suppressed by electron doping.
