Abstract

Magnetization and neutron diffraction measurements on single crystal ErB₄ have revealed that ErB₄ orders antiferromagnetically below T_N = 15.4 K with an ordering vector k = [ 1 0 0 ]. The magnetic susceptibility is highly anisotropic, χ_c ≫ χ_a. Successive metamagnetic transitions occur with a plateau at the half saturation magnetization (1/2 M_S) for both B//a and B//c. The magnetic phase diagram is presented and discussed in relation to the frustration of the Shastry-Sutherland lattice.
