概要 We report on microscopic study of the ferromagnetism enhancement in the Ru<br />
doped ferromagnetic superconductor (FM SC) UCoGe. For that purpose, two single<br />
crystals with composition UCo0.97Ru0.03Ge and UCo0.88Ru0.12Ge were prepared.<br />
Both single crystals were investigated by polarized neutron diffraction (PND)<br />
at low temperatures in magnetic fields and the latter one also by the soft<br />
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) method. UCo0.96Ru0.03Ge and<br />
UCo0.88Ru0.12Ge have been found ordering ferromagnetically below the Curie<br />
temperature TC = 6 K and 8.5 K, respectively, which are considerable higher<br />
than TC = 3 K of UCoGe. The increase of TC is accompanied by enhancement of the<br />
spontaneous moment to ms = 0.11 mB/f.u. and ms = 0.21 mB/f.u., respectively.<br />
The analysis of the PND results assigns the ferromagnetism enhancement mainly<br />
to the growth of the orbital part of uranium 5 f moment. In contrast to the<br />
published results of PND study of the parent UCoGe, we have found parallel<br />
orientation of the U and Co moments in both doped compounds. Evolution of<br />
magnetic characteristics with Ru concentration is discussed within a scenario<br />
considering the varying 5 f-ligand hybridization as the key mechanism.
