Abstract
Long-time variations of the magnetic structure in PrCo2Si2 and (Pr0.98La0.02)Co2Si2 were studied by magnetization and time-resolved neutron scattering measurements. The amplitudes of magnetic Bragg peaks showed marked time variations after cooling or heating across the magnetic transition temperature T1 between two different antiferromagnetic phases. However, the amplitude of the time variation decreased rapidly with increasing distance from T1. We analyzed the results on the basis of a phase transition model that includes the coexistence of fast and slow processes.
