Elastic anomalies in HoNi2B2C single crystals
Abstract
We have measured temperature and magnetic field dependencies of the sound velocities and the sound attenuation in HoNi2B2C single crystals. The main result is a huge softening the velocity of C66 mode due to a cooperative Jahn-Teller effect, resulting in a tetragonal-orthorhombic structural phase transition. Anomalies in the behavior of the C66 mode through various magnetic phase transitions permit us to revise the low temperature H-T phase diagrams of this compound.
