Ferromagnetism with zero intrinsic magnetization: mu SR on Gd-doped SmAl2
A ferromagnetic system which has an external magnetization that is intrinsically zero is an interesting and unusual type of magnet. The rare earth ion Sm3+ provides a basis for building such a system, having the property that its spin and orbital moments are both close to 4 mu(B). Antiparallel coupl...
