Abstract

The Zeeman effect, magnetization M(H), and differential magnetic susceptibility dM/dH of ErVO4 crystals in a pulsed magnetic field have been experimentally and theoretically studied. In magnetic fields H ∥ [001] and H ∥ [100], the energy levels of Er3+ ions exhibit mutual approach and crossing (the crossover effect), which results in the peaks in dM/dH and the jumps in M(H) curves at low temperatures. The anomalies in the magnetic properties related to the crossover in ErVO4 for H ∥ [001] are highly sensitive to the electronic structure of Er3+ ion, which allows this effect to be used for refining the crystal field parameters. The influence of the temperature, field misorientation from the symmetry axis, parameters of pair interactions, and other factors on the magnitude and character of magnetic anomalies in ErVO4 crystals is considered.
