摘要
High-field magnetization measurements have been preformed on a single crystal sample of the pyrochlore compound Gd2Ti2O7 using a pulse magnet in conjunction with a dilution refrigerator. The magnetization curve at 0.3 K reveals two magnetic phase transitions when the magnetic field is applied along [I 11]. At temperatures slightly above T-N, a magnetization plateau appears around 5 T and the magnetization increases again from about 15 T with a convex curvature. It is considered that this crossover is due to a competition among thermal fluctuations, short-range antiferromagnetic ordering and geometrical frustration.
