| Research Abstract |
Eu clathrate Eu8Ga16Ge30 is a ferromagnet with TC=36 K. We examined relationship between rattling motion of the Eu guest atom and a modulated magnetic structure. The temperature dependence of the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra agrees well with that of the DC magnetization at ambient pressure. At pressures up to 13.3 GPa, the divalent state of the Eu ions with J = 7/2 remains stable, but at 17 GPa the XMCD intensity is strongly suppressed and a spectral weight corresponding to the trivalent state of Eu ions appears in the X-ray absorption spectroscopy spectrum. The concurrent change from the type-I clathrate structure to an amorphous phase has been observed by X-ray diffraction experiment. In electron-doped systems, the temperature dependence of the saturated magnetization agrees with a mean-field calculation with a Heisenburg model. The results suggest that the modulated magnetic structure is probably attributed to the low carrier density.
