Abstract
In a recent study of the magnetic order in Gd3Ag4Sn4 by neutron powder diffraction and 119Sn Mössbauer Spectroscopy we showed that both the Gd(2d) and Gd(4e) sublattices order antiferromagnetically at 28.8(2) K. We also demonstrated that the ‘magnetic event’ around 8 K is in fact a ‘plane to axis’ spin-reorientation of the Gd magnetic structure. Here, we extend our study with 155Gd Mössbauer Spectroscopy. The initial magnetic ordering at 30(2) K is clear for both sites and substantial changes in the hyperfine fields are observed at 8 K when the magnetic structure reorients.
