Abstract

The magnetic characteristics of a twin-free EuBaCo2O5.5 single crystal were studied. It is shown that Co ions exhibit an Ising-type behavior with an easy axis directed along the a axis in the temperature range from 2 K to T c (250 K). As the temperature decreases from 300 K, a number of magnetic phase transitions occur under magnetic fields Ha. In the range where antiferromagnetic ordering of Co3+ ions exists, metamagnetic transitions were observed to occur in fields whose values were dependent on temperature. The strengths of competing interactions in the crystal are estimated.
