摘要
We have investigated the underlying magnetism in newly discovered single crystal Kondo lattices CeXAl4Si2, where X = Rh, Ir. We show that the compound undergoes an incommensurate-to-commensurate magnetic transition at T-c = 9.19 K (10.75 K in Ir). The spin correlation in the incommensurate phase is described by a spin density wave configuration of Ce ions, which locks in to the long-range antiferromagnetic order at T = T-c. The analysis of the experimental data, combined with the calculation of the electronic properties, suggests the role of the Fermi surface nesting as the primary mechanism behind this phenomenon.
