摘要
The magnetic, thermal, and optical properties of single-crystalline CoTa2O6 and FeTa2O6 are reported. Optical dichroism was observed in CoTa2O6. Magnetic susceptibility chi(T) measurements reveal long-range antiferromagnetic order with Neel temperatures T-N = 6.12(5) K and 8.11(5) K, respectively, and anisotropy in chi. The thermal expansion coefficients exhibit significant anisotropy and the influence of the magnetic ions and long-range order. A structural phase transition to orthorhombic occurs below T-N for FeTa2O6. Magnetic field H lowers TN with its affect largest when H is directed along either [1 1 0] or [1 (1) over bar 0], and smallest when directed along [0 0 1]. This leads to an anisotropic magnetocaloric effect that is investigated through measurements of the specific heat and magnetization in applied magnetic field.
