Evolution of short-range magnetic correlations in ferromagnetic Ni-V alloys

Here we experimentally study how the magnetic correlations develop in a binary alloy close to the ferromagnetic quantum critical point with small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Upon alloying the itinerant ferromagnet nickel with vanadium, the ferromagnetic order is continuously suppressed. The critical temperature T c vanishes when vanadium concentrations reach the critical value of x c =0.116 indicating a quantum critical point separating the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. Earlier magnetization and μ⁢SR data have indicated the presence of magnetic inhomogeneities in Ni 1-x ⁢V x and, in particular, recognize the magnetic clusters close to x c , on the paramagnetic and on the ferromagnetic sides with nontrivial dynamical properties [R. Wang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 267202 (2017)]. We present the results of SANS study with full polarization analysis of polycrystalline Ni 1-x⁢ V x samples with x=0.10 and x=0.11 with low critical temperatures T c <50 K. For both Ni-V samples close to x c we find isotropic magnetic short-range correlations on the nanometer scale persisting at low temperatures. They are suppressed gradually in higher magnetic fields. In addition, signatures of long-range ordered magnetic domains are present below T c . The fraction of these magnetic clusters embedded in the ferromagnetic ordered phase grows toward x c and agrees well with the cluster fraction estimate from the magnetization and μ⁢SR data. Our SANS studies provide new insights into the nature of the inhomogeneities in a ferromagnetic alloy close to a quantum critical point.

Materials Data on VNi2 by Materials Project

Ni2V crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V is bonded to two equivalent V and ten equivalent Ni atoms to form VV2Ni10 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent VV2Ni10 cuboctahedra, corners with ten equivalent NiV5Ni7 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent VV2Ni10 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve equivalent NiV5Ni7 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent VV2Ni10 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent NiV5Ni7 cuboctahedra. Both V–V bond lengths are 2.52 Å. There are two shorter (2.52 Å) and eight longer (2.53 Å) V–Ni bond lengths. Ni is bonded to five equivalent V and seven equivalent Ni atoms to form NiV5Ni7 cuboctahedra that share corners with five equivalent VV2Ni10 cuboctahedra, corners with seven equivalent NiV5Ni7 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent VV2Ni10 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen equivalent NiV5Ni7 cuboctahedra, faces with seven equivalent VV2Ni10 cuboctahedra, and faces with eleven equivalent NiV5Ni7 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.52 Å) and one longer (2.55 Å) Ni–Ni bond lengths.
