Electron Spin Resonance of the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice CeRuPO

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2010-10-13 v1

Abstract

The spin dynamics of the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice CeRuPO is investigated by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) at microwave frequencies of 1, 9.4, and 34~GHz. The measured resonance can be ascribed to a rarely observed bulk Ce3+ resonance in a metallic Ce compound and can be followed below the ferromagnetic transition temperature Tc=14 K. At T>Tc the interplay between the RKKY-exchange interaction and the crystal electric field anisotropy determines the ESR parameters. Near Tc the spin relaxation rate is influenced by the critical fluctuations of the order parameter.
