摘要
Specific heat measurements on single crystals of RMn1-xGaxO3 (R=Ho,Y) have revealed that Ga doping raises the Mn-spin reorientation temperature T-SR while lowering the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature, T-N, of the Mn spins and the Ho magnetic ordering temperature T-2. The variations of the calculated magnetic entropy with Ga doping show the existence of spin fluctuations above T-N in the geometrically frustrated Mn-spin system and a coupling between the Mn3+-ion and Ho3+-ion spins both at T-SR and T-2. The data also support Schottky anomalies in the specific heat of HoMn1-xGaxO3, which is dominated by crystalline electric fields but also affected by Mn3+-ion spin orderings. The large electronic contribution to specific heat of HoMnO3, gamma, is suggested to be due to Ho3+ spin disorder.
