Abstract

The Er3Co compound with orthorhombic crystal structure has been investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, electrical resistivity and heat capacity measurements which were made for the first time on single crystalline samples. Below 13.8 K this compound exhibits a complex noncollinear ferromagnetic structure which results from the low symmetry crystalline electric field that surpasses the exchange interaction. Using the magnetization and magnetoresistance measurements along the main crystallographic directions, a complicated and anisotropic magnetization process was revealed. The variation of the electrical resistivity of Er3Co with the temperature is discussed assuming an influence of spin fluctuations rising from f?d exchange interactions.
